Finally, at the Yale game, it does not matter, with whom one normally associates. We're all in the same boat. Even the final club guys must leave the comfort of their secretive houses to tailgate in the muddy parking lot with the rest of us. The Game is truly the great equalizer of Harvard College...
...even care about the loss? Or The Game itself for that matter? It is not due to a devotion to Crimson football. Saturday was probably the first time most of us have been to a game all season. Nor is it unlikely that we're motivated by an intense hatred of Yale. The anti-Yale passions of last week are largely contrived and superficial. Unlike our friends in New Haven, the rivalry rarely occupies our thoughts during the other 51 weeks of the year. Cambridge merchants don't regularly sell "Yale Sucks" T-shirts and jokes and insults about Yale...

And there's still the messy question of how to stop "the process." In an op-ed piece last week in the New York Times, Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter suggested that Congress simply set the case aside and leave it for Starr to pursue after Clinton leaves office two years from now.

The story of how the Hemings family diverged onto opposite sides of the color line says much about "passing," a social practice that shakes more than a few family trees and forces one to question the validity...
