...senior class, which last year went for the apple-pie-and parenthood choice of Children Defense Fund founder Marian Wright Edelman, this year picked a woman who has lately rarely escaped the spotlight of controversy...
This summer scooters have become a hot accessory, popping up in movies (American Pie, the new Austin Powers), fashion spreads, music videos and ads (Doc Martens, IBM). Especially popular on both coasts, Vespas are a favored toy of such celebrities as Ellen DeGeneres (girlfriend Anne Heche gave her one) and Jerry Seinfeld (who paid some $10,000 for his rare 1962 Grand Sport).
