...simply no sitting still while listening to this song. Sadly, however, the remaining twelve tracks come nowhere near to living up to this high standard. The second track “Girls” sounds like an unholy marriage of the all of the worst elements of old-school rap and British drum and bass rave music...
...does a Brearley Beaver recognize her Hotchkiss hubby when surrounded by a veritable sea of argyle? To spot the old-school WASP in a crowd of drones, look for the traits you can’t buy in J. Crew: a hint of lockjaw, an enviable air of aloofness, and a faint crease of contempt around the eyes. If all else fails, check the nametag: if it says Wigglesworth, you’ve got yourself genuine prep...
...full-on male glamour in 1998 with the introduction of his modestly priced urban men's label, Sean John. Revenue has grown steadily, to $175 million.

Based on highly scientific anthropological data (observations of final club social life and midday Yard interactions), I think Harvard is struggling to balance the old-school traditions of boat shoes and the Cape on the one hand, and its current attempts at diversity on the other. The student body has settled at a level of neo-prep, meaning that kids who wear the polos with the collars up may or may not be WASP-y lacrosse players who belong to the Fly. It’s hard to tell—a kind of hip New York attitude...
