Michael calls himself "Greg's other wife." The two first met 15 years ago and joke that they "slept together" before Greg and Nicole did--in the same bed on a freshman-year ski trip. Greg later brought Michael to Marsh & McLennan. Michael thought Greg worked too hard and goaded him into taking afternoon outings to buy doughnuts and DVDs. Only in the past few months had Greg really begun heeding Michael's advice to take the earlier evening train so he could spend more time with his second son Matthew, who was born in July...
...Crimson offense-which hit for a league-worst .258 average last year-was rejuvenated in 2001. Junior third baseman Nick Carter emerged as one of the finest all-around hitters in New England, leading the team in almost every offensive category. Shortstop Mark Mager was again a hit machine, batting .343 on the year. Senior Joe Llanes and sophomore Brian Lentz both scored and knocked in at least 20 runs apiece, while junior outfielder Javy Lopez bounced back from a devastating freshman-year eye injury...
...Three years ago, Mandernach, as Joe's freshman-year academic lab instructor, saw Joe the way his other teachers did--angry, ready to fight even at the slightest challenge, and irresponsible. "He had a small-man problem," says Mandernach.

"Joey's such a sweet kid," says his mother Debbie Deimeke, who divorced Joe's father when Joe was six, "but inside he's got all this pent-up anger...
...article "Stanford Boosts Financial Aid Packages" (Feb. 18) notes that only Harvard and Duke among the nation's top five schools have failed to respond to Princeton's move to increase financial aid. In fact, Duke has long used some of these competitive practices. Students' tuition is frozen at freshman-year levels, even as incoming classes pay more. And students from the Carolinas receive grants in lieu of loans in their financial aid packages. This last factor was important in my own decision to attend Duke, and being debt-free has expanded my later options. JEFFREY W. VANKE, GSAS...
...this weekend, college students don't own the town. Still, as I divide the better part of my evening between two bars popular with Harvard students, it becomes clear that undergraduates are making a strong showing: within minutes at each over-crowded location I manage to bump into freshman-year dorm mates, hometown acquaintances and a number of kids in the Class of 2000. Later, making my way between bars, I look high and low for bands of tipsy underclassmen among the river Houses, but I never do find them...
