...student at Wellesley told me that she can leave her laptop unattended in the library and not worry that it will be stolen. People have come to take the honor code very seriously at Wellesley; a breach of it does not only symbolize one person's transgression of her word, but it violates the entire community's trust in itself as a functioning entity. A student at Princeton informed me that he thinks his honor code is "too weak" because Princeton redundantly makes you sign your honor code pledge along with each exam and major paper.

Penn, who can work wonders with a laptop so long as he hasn't left it behind in a cab, could bring a nonpolitical, outside-the-box perspective to the team. He had been polling mainly for corporate clients, helping AT&T, for example, test TV spots during its corporate war against MCI. But Morris didn't really want him. A few years before, Penn had shot down some big-think Morris ideas during a meeting with a client...
