...remember my first Beanpot back in February of 1965," said B.C. alum Reed Oslon, the luncheon's keynote speaker. "I, like tens of thousands of other students over the years, took the Green line to North Station. I couldn't believe the excitement and the magic that really is the Beanpot. It's such a special event...
...festivities began on Wednesday, the eve of the anniversary, with a luncheon for 800 at which Prince Philip toasted his wife. "I think the main lesson we have learnt," he said, "is that tolerance is the one essential ingredient in any happy marriage...You can take it from me, the Queen has the quality of tolerance in abundance." The next day, Nov. 20, the couple attended a service in Westminster Abbey, where they had been married.

Was he winking at the legal line that is supposed to separate the "soft money...
...BOOZE BILL Overeating, philandering, pseudo inhaling--that's the old Bill Clinton. Now it seems Bill's gone teetotal. Never much of a drinker, last week the President faked sipping wine during two toasts at a U.N. luncheon. A breach of etiquette? No, says Letitia Baldrige, former chief of staff to Jackie Kennedy and author of More than Manners: "If you bring the glass to your mouth, who's going to know...
