...weather won't stand in our way. In fact, the aforementioned Adams House sorceress plans to call for a hurricane. Rejoice in the storm! The 150 m.p.h. winds--ordered to blow in the proper direction, of course--will turn the measliest Harvard screen pass into a potential 30-yard gain. We won't even need to tackle Yale's running backs, as the wind will push the Elis back into their own end zone for a Harvard safety...

They gear their statements, in the tradition of the 1975 UN resolution, toward the delegitimization of the Jewish state. Whether Harvard should allow such nonsensical lies to gain a hearing at the Divinity School seems trivial compared to the far more dangerous trend of equating Zionism as racism through the Israel-South Africa analogy.

For all these differences -- and because of them -- George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev both stand to gain from a feet-up-on-the-table, let's-get-to-know-each-other chat. In a head-snapping acceleration of their relationship, the two leaders announced last week that they would visit each other aboard ships moored in the Mediterranean Sea Dec. 2 and 3 for a summ . . . oops...
