Third, students could recognize that they can either do outstanding academic work or engage in more extracurricular activities than a yacht-load of Congressmen, but probably not both. Harvard students are incredibly bright, but there is only so much time, energy and attention to go around...
Derek, his mom Leslie and his dad Jeffrey are the first volunteer test subjects for a new, implantable computer device called VeriChip. Later this spring, pending Food and Drug Administration approval, doctors will load a wide-bore needle with a microchip containing a few kilobytes of silicon memory and a tiny radio transmitter and inject it under the skin of their left arms, where it will serve as a medical identification device. It sounds like science fiction. (Remember the Borg on Star Trek? Resistance is futile!) But VeriChip is quite real. The Jacobs family could be the first...

...stand for cerebral palsy anymore, but rather, cerebal person.” His classmates respond with approbation and cliches, invoking other writers who were afflicted with handicaps, and paying lip service to political correctness. That is until Scott cuts in and calmly calls the story a “load of shit.” Leo is devastated and breaks up with Vi for encouraging him to read it. Later at a bar, Vi runs into Scott, and asks him if he thinks she could be a writer. He stoically responds no, she goes home with him to his apartment...
