...Anybody see the Miss Universe pageant? The big winner--Miss Universe--is Miss Puerto Rico ... Is it me, or does it always seem to be someone from Earth?" DAVID LETTERMAN...
...most obvious failure was in casting Elliot as Hammer. A shortish guy with a strident, high-pitched voice, he's like a teenager playing Hammer in a school pageant, and he's dressed in a trenchcoat so oversize, it seems to be holding Chuck Bednarik's shoulder pads.

Currently the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Resource Efficiency Program coordinator of the Harvard Green Campus Initiative, Rogers said that her experience at Harvard helped her snag the pageant honor on April 22. Rogers credited the academic rigor at Harvard for helping her face the interview portion of the contest, during which a panel grilled her on everything from her platform to facts about her state. “Talking with so many people—both as an undergrad...
