Three nights later, five girls sat in a small bedroom and cheered. Nora C. Cheng '02, one of the unwilling hostesses, rejoiced, "Thank God almighty I'm free at last!" What would occasion such evangelical language? A nightmare guest the likes of which none of the traumatized girls had previously seen. A guest who brought weird boys to their common room, went through their books, answered their phone, hooked up with four guys in two nights and asked to try on their clothes, was gone. They had tried to be nice and then settled for being civil after Maggie made...
...none is more interesting, and more implausible, than a piece in the November 30 issue of The New Republic. Writer and historian Sean Wilentz claims that "It is impossible to imagine that the relationship of Tom and Sally was an inhumane one. The conditions were ugly, but the affair was not." He goes on to compare the relationship of Jefferson and Hemings to that of another Presidential pair: "The story of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky is about lust consensually expressed, and about loneliness and arrogance, and about stupidity and an astounding lack of judgment. The story of Thomas Jefferson...
...often a women's ideas can be obscured by comments about her hair style, the color of her suit, her figure and, most disturbingly, her degree of femininity--none of which are the subject of comment when male political leaders speak.

This was a moment I'd waited for. I've got a bunch of computers at home, but until now, none was networked because, frankly, it's just too damned hard. Who wants to drill holes, pull cable and figure out how to route data between a bunch of machines in different rooms? Not me. Yet there's a growing need for a simple solution. By 2000, half of all homes that have PCs will have lots of PCs. Networking them saves money, since even the dumbest machine will be able to share files with the smartest. Or connect...
...exist to launch an impeachment process against BORIS YELTSIN. Yeltsin's alleged misdeeds are far graver than sexual misconduct: he stands accused of causing the collapse of the U.S.S.R., organizing the assault on the parliament in October 1993 and instigating the war in Chechnya, among other offenses. So far, none of the star witnesses--Yeltsin and other Kremlin bosses--have shown up to testify, something Filimonov blames on his lack of subpoena power. Still, the committee has already voted on the first three counts, and Yeltsin has lost each time. While Filimonov concedes there's scant chance of removing Yeltsin...
