...10th Yale reunion because I still live part of each year in New Haven. I even thought I knew what was going on until Sara Cohen, class of '88, started talking about the `lipsticks' and the `crunchies.'

What strange force brought a man of world renown, a fire- breathing latter-day populist, to that dot of earth, that little corner of a small town that was never witness to anything more grand than a merry-go- round, a high school band concert and an ice-cream social...
