When Nancy A. Redd ’03 flipped through a Glamour magazine in the women’s studies department lounge last fall, she didn’t realize she would soon continue a 45-year tradition of Radcliffe and Harvard winners of the magazine’s “Top 10 College Women” competition. Redd’s many accomplishments—including being the highest-earning black American on a game show (for winning $250,000 on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”) and co-authoring a Princeton Review...
...Best-Dressed College Girls in America,” the contest has attracted a plethora of Harvard’s finest. One of the 1957 winners, Radcliffe graduate Priscilla Bowden ’61, was the first woman accepted to the editorial staff of The Crimson. Glamour quoted a Princeton man describing Bowden as “an Ivy intellectual...but so pretty, it doesn’t matter.” Radcliffe winners in the early ’60s had the chance to meet famous politicians, including Lyndon B.

When Townsend's aunt Eunice Kennedy Shriver threw her a $10-a-head fund raiser last year, traffic backed up for more than a mile, as 5,000 people clamored for an afternoon of Kennedy glamour. And the Governor's mansion was seen as a way station: it was just a matter of time, the pundits were saying, until Bobby Kennedy's eldest landed a spot on a national ticket...
...white-guy jokes. It's crass, pandering, cliched--and fun. (A scene with the undercover black cop, played by Bill Bellamy, line dancing at a redneck bar is a pure 48 Hours rip-off but one of the few genuine laughs of the new season.) Adapting the trash glamour of today's rap videos, as Vice did with 1980s videos, it's also fun to look at. With Fastlane--as with much of this year's cop crop--turn off the sound, and you might even believe you're watching something fresh...
