...strange how many ghosts hover around Somalia. There is, of course, the big dark ghost of Vietnam, that formative evil myth of Clinton's generation. That war, like the Somalia conflict, was dominated by images injected into the American psyche -- the Viet Cong in a plaid shirt being shot in the head point-blank by Saigon's police chief during the Tet offensive, for example.

...preponderance of alumni at our games. They just don't make for the same excitement. The corporate lawyer banging on the glass screaming "You SUCK!" is an image no one, especially the corporate lawyer, could ever imagine. The Radcliffe grad in a plaid ankle length skirt asking friends and strangers for the best private preschool would never belch. "Fat this, Terriers!" from the balcony...
