...thing we understand is that every year the competition will be extremely intense. We know every year we’ll have to pull out all the stops.”Fitzsimmons said the yield at Harvard is remarkable given that it doesn’t offer merit scholarships, unlike some of its competitors. He points to the college’s new financial aid initiative as a factor which has been stimulating interest among potential applicants, whether they are from low-income backgrounds or not.“In the end the top African American students in the country...

Last week’s episode of “The OC” opened with a (gasp) metaphor. Has the show achieved literary merit? Mmm, sort of. Marissa Cooper recounted—via nightmare—her shooting of Trey, Ryan’s brother, in last spring’s season finale. The vision represents ardent attempts by the show’s writers to remember a time when the show was at its sleazy best. And with last week’s episode, they succeeded! Sort of. Ryan and Marissa had some more relationship troubles...
