...beneath your feet and can see a bright, glittering, well-groomed haze all around you. Up the grand stairway, lined with upperclassmen clapping and cheering, until you reach the top where beaming and blushing abashedly you sign your name and receive the dark blue and red and yellow and green striped club tie from the president. A final huzzah then you and the rest turn with relish to the serious business of the evening, consuming as much alcohol as possible. Everyone is shaking hands and slapping each other on the back. It is a bacchanalian love-feast and you drink...
...their predicament (but actual tears will be shed before many hours have passed)--"I'd feel pretty bad if I didn't see so many of my friends here."

...moralist," observes sage Author Maurois, "is to live in accordance with his own principles." Poor Alexandre failed manfully in his efforts to do so. Urging death as the proper penalty for adulterous wives, and crying, "Only the virgin man is invincible," he fell into bed with green-eyed Princess Naryschkine, wife of a Russian nobleman. She bore him a daughter (later legitimized by her marriage to Dumas) shortly after audiences were applauding his ferocious antiseduction drama A Natural Son. Young Dumas' ferocity only caused women to swarm round him. When a young actress said to him, "Feel...
