...first I blamed the nasty cold that I had caught earlier that week. I went to UHS the next day claiming a persistent hacking cough, mucus-filled throat and inability to mock others. They told me I was on my period (Haha! See? Now why can't I do that with I-bankers?). Later I realized the truth: I was afraid. I was afraid of the enraged horde of budding consultants that would inevitably knock down my door, shouting invectives and threatening to stab me with their PalmPilot Styluses. I was afraid that a mob of investment bankers would conspire...

...Taming of the Shrew, Mitchell is the undisputed star of both the show and the show within a show. Yet he has to cede most of the best Cole Porter numbers (Why Can't You Behave?, Too Darn Hot) to others and spends most of his time playing mock Shakespeare and bickering with his ex-wife and co-star, deliciously played by Marin Mazzie. That's one reason Mitchell never much liked the musical. "I thought the show had no heart," he says...

Everywhere you look...

...Chicago the Food and Drug Administration, acknowledging growing public concern, held the first of three public forums on g.m. foods. FrankenTony showed up, along with a covey of kids dressed as monarch butterflies, feigning death before a mock cornstalk--an allusion to the discovery by scientists last spring that, at least in the lab, pollen from g.m. corn can kill the butterfly's caterpillars. Not to be left out, Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman was said to be considering the appointment of a panel of experts to advise him on the pros and cons of biotech. And in the surest...

They slapped me around in the beginning. I wasn't a "good boy," but as time went on, I learned it didn't pay to be a smart aleck. There were mock trials. I said, "I will not answer any of your questions." The next day they marched me to a large hall. They said, "Here is a piece of paper. If you don't answer these questions by the count of 10, we'll shoot you." They put a gun to my head and started counting...
