...harass those on whom they look down. A number of Columbine students, who don't want to be named because they fear reprisals, described athletes routinely shoving, cursing and throwing rocks and bottles at Harris, Klebold and others. The school denies playing favorites, and jocks deny harassing anybody. The press, says Schulte, "believe anything these kids say. They tell you that the jocks picked on them, and you print it. It's ridiculous." Seven months ago, the sheriff's department warned the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners about growing violence in the Columbine area, including fighting by ganglike groups...

In addition to a generic calendar, it offers an events directory...
Could it be Greer herself: a woman who has, in many ways, devoted herself to the life of the mind, unhindered by family? She teaches at Warwick University and produces scholarly studies on obscure women poets, whose work she publishes with her own Stump Cross Press. But Greer says the whole woman does not exist, and is not she. There's that little matter of waiting by the phone, for starters. "I still, ah, I make myself sick," she admits. "I will flirt, I will--bleccccch--do all of that s__, it's amazing...
