...BURUNDI Coup Attempt Fails Soldiers loyal to Burundian President Pierre Buyoya foiled a coup attempt by junior military officers. Calling themselves the Patriotic Youth Front, a band of about 40 soldiers seized control of state radio and aired a taped statement that said, "The government that is killing people is over." But within hours the rebel troops had surrendered. Buyoya, who was in Gabon holding talks to end Burundi's civil war, returned home the next day without incident. Fighting between ethnic Tutsi and Hutu in Burundi has killed at least 200,000 people since...

...went on and on about how much everybody loves Chris Pierce ’02. Well, not everybody loves Johnnie Lee. That’s understandable. The boy is, after all, one of Harvard’s most talented musicians, In the (K)now’s most loyal reader, and, as In the (K)now It Girl Alejandra Casillas ’01 eloquently puts it, “hotter than Texas in August.” Who wouldn’t be jealous of Johnnie...
