...media's current fascination with his temper. Or he could be the Alan E. Keyes '72, with his outrageous allegations and proposals, pushed to the margins of an already marginal race. Dreyfus wants Harvard to regress 30 years to 1969 when students stormed University Hall. He wants the war-like atmosphere of those days to galvanize the student body. He's insane...

Catherine E. Tenney '01 sported a fashionable turtleneck in this season's neutral tones (even Al Gore '69 is doing it). Plants wore his coat more like a smoking-jacket than the blazer that it was, and Driskell should have done without the diamond bobby pins...
