Tijuana Ricks and Michael Gillespie have been dating for three years and hope to marry. The African-American Ricks, 23, a Yale-drama grad student, and the Caucasian Gillespie, 29, a chiropractor, always loved the idea of blended-race children. But since Sept. 11, the idea of mixing up America's races has seemed even more urgent. "If we have more diverse children," Ricks urges, "they can educate others about different races and cultures and be more prepared for issues that might arise...
...with their parents or their peers. At the Indian Springs school in Birmingham, Ala., recalls Jones, black kids felt it was O.K. to date an Indian, Korean or Latino, but they frowned on dating whites.

Only our manservant Geoffrey has arrived. I am still awaiting my chauffer and my cook, as well as my gardener, butler, governess, wet nurse and masseuse. Apologies, but I dont remember their names. I get their attention with this...
Though Latin is the language on the plate, discussions do not revolve solely around lofty classical themes and poets but spill out like any mealtime conversation. It was sort of fun discussing the election last yearBush as a frutex and that sort of thing, explains grad student Noah Dauber. More recently, Latin ruminations on the war in Afghanistan lapsed into a What would the Greeks/Romans do? hypothetical. But most often, explains Whittington, the students talk about their personal lives. Weve developed into a community of friends, Leah says. And that is the ideal of learning...
