...TIME's cover story on Sonia Sotomayor [June 8]: Richard Lacayo made a disparaging remark: "Nobody expects you to make it to Princeton when you come from a public-housing project." I grew up in the 1960s in a public-housing project in Brooklyn, N.Y. Although I did my graduate work at Georgetown not Princeton, several of the kids in our project did go on to Ivy League colleges. In fact, many of the kids I grew up with became doctors, lawyers, college professors, social workers and journalists. A lot of kids who grow up rich never learn to develop...
...didn't wash that sweatshirt, because when you've helped one set of alien robots defeat another, you need a memento. But he shakes it out while preparing to leave for Princeton, unintentionally rebooting the whole conflict. The shard infuses him with great genius - the Cube being the source of all alien-robot knowledge - making him, once again, the Decepticons' main quarry. And once again, it takes director Michael Bay 144 minutes and a tremendous amount of firepower and heaving bosoms to re-vanquish the Decepticons. Even then, it still seems highly likely that the worst of them, a black...
...this, Fox appears stoic, perhaps because she's concentrating on keeping her lips permanently parted and wet (she looks as if she's been interrupted in the midst of dining on lobster with drawn butter).

The movie's main romantic tension revolves around the fact that she and Sam still haven't said "I love you" although they have had sex. We know this because Sam's mother Judy (Julie White) heard them. She divulges this information while...
...Sotomayor does not appear to be a crusader for radical change. She has always sought change from within the system rather than fundamentally challenging its premises. As a student at Princeton, she co-chaired a Puerto Rican student organization and filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission about Princeton's affirmative-action failures, leading to the hiring of the first Hispanic dean of students. But she acted in such a constructive way that William Bowen, then university president, helped select her for the Pyne Prize, the highest honor Princeton bestows on undergraduates. Sotomayor's experiences as an outsider...
...still hard at work. Its final race of a long season will be this Saturday, as Harvard takes on Yale in the 144th Harvard-Yale Regatta in New London, Conn.The Crimson lightweights took bronze in the seven-boat final, the lone men’s lightweight race, finishing behind Princeton and Yale. As expected, the undefeated Tigers dominated, winning by almost five seconds. The Bulldogs, on the other hand, narrowly emerged victorious in the fight for second, a late comeback Harvard was none too happy about, since Yale had placed fifth at Eastern Sprints.“[The Crimson] performed...
