...truck. This yogurt is for the community of about 35 Harvard students who live outside of the bricks and gates in two wooden houses on Sacramento Street and Mass. Ave. They live without Dorm Crew and without swipe cards, in an isolated and self-sufficient community. Alex C. A. Kaufman '02 says, "if you do the most difficult chores, you'll end up working 4 hours a week at least." They make their bread, mix their juice, clean their toilets, churn their compost, and somehow have time to do their homework...
...holds dangers all its own, mainly its potential virtually to bankrupt either side. Neither camp has much organization on the ground there, where it takes a lot of money to build one--as much as $10 million, according to political consultant Bill Carrick. Bradley's senior adviser there, Gale Kaufman, is trying to construct one that deploys volunteers, using e-mail to rally supporters and keep the momentum building, and offsets Gore's advantage of having the labor unions...

It was his luck to come on the scene in the '70s, just as a generation that had been shaped--blighted--by the same pop materials was arriving at self-consciousness. The natural impulse of the members of that generation was to nostalgize pop culture and their own innocent response to it. On the other hand...
According to a recent profile of Kaufman in the New Yorker by Julie Hecht, who hung out with him in those days, he spoke about killing himself on television, which would have been, for him, the perfect summarizing gesture. Probably he was kidding. But his self-destructive and endlessly confrontational relationship with networks, concert managers and audiences was the great theme of his career. He was always disconcertingly catching everyone between laughter and outrage. And the cookies-and-milk treat he sometimes offered later never quite healed that ambiguity. Man on the Moon doesn't either. It just gives...
