...Vartan Gregorian, the President of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and an authority on higher education, recently spoke to The Crimson about a number of issues Harvard will soon have to face...
...Amazingly, each show comes packaged with its own CD of best hits, or two or three or four. But none of those characteristic "toony" jingles.

And Randy Holmes, 41, an ironworker from Orlando, Fla., climbs on top of his rickety $4,000 motor home and turns on his scanner to hear the chatter between drivers and crew chiefs. Holmes saved up for two months to come to the race with his stepfather, two sons and a nephew. He doesn't know it, but 75 yds. away in a somewhat more elaborate rig, Texaco CEO Peter Bijur is getting ready to root...
