...case, no one in the hall seemed much interested in this, Mr. Fox included. He announced that instead of giving the traditional rundown on what each fellowship means, this year he would merely correct two errors in the OG and CP's lengthy senior handbook ("After Harvard-What?") and then throw the floor open for questions...
