...rise to their co-ed equivalents, along the lines of Princeton's modern eating clubs. Those of us at Princeton can only chuckle at this comment, seeing as we have never heard our clubs-usually portrayed as elitist dinosaurs from our university's all-male days-mentioned as a model for anything. Though I enjoy my club's camaraderie and convenience, it lacks something; a special sense of brotherhood that extends to other colleges and an alumni network that cannot be underestimated...
...book though called Jamie in the 1988 movie starring Michael J. Fox) from his dreary job as a fact checker for a snooty, New Yorker-style magazine through his debauched, drug-addled all-nighters on the New York club circuit. It fleshes out, via flashbacks, his fashion-model ex-wife, with whom he's still obsessed, and his mother, whose death a year earlier he still hasn't come to terms with. Greif's production has a sleek, metallic-fluorescent look (with a catwalk above the stage for the band and occasional actors) that transforms smoothly from disco floor...

"Nobody likes going to the drugstore," Bezos jokes. This week PlanetRx, headed by former FedEx operations chief Bill Razzouk, is expected to launch its own vast shop, with such similar features as secure personal prescription records...
...holds-barred approach to crime, Rudolph Giuliani became the nation's first mayor to order police to seize the cars of first-time drunk drivers. Correct that: even some of those who are not convicted may lose their wheels. Touting the O.J. Simpson case as a worthy model (surely another first), Giuliani explained that when an accused drunk driver is cleared in criminal court, the city may still use civil forfeiture statutes to take his car. This might be applied, he said, in cases in which "it's one of those acquittals in which the person was guilty, but there...
