...story of a decent, but entirely human, fellow whose fame doesn't quite match the ambiguous facts of history. And there comes a point when the myth assumes a reality all its own. "This is the West, sir," says a newspaper editor. "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend...
Africa's wine once had a reputation to rival Europe's. In the 19th century, vin de Constance, a Cape Town dessert wine, was the A-list tipple of its day, served to Napoleon on his deathbed and celebrated in print by Charles Dickens and Jane Austen.

Not only do you have to take your ID with you everywhere to do anything on campus (you’ll need it to eat in the ’Berg, to get into Lamont, to enter your dormitory, to print the paper you wrote at 4 a.m. the night before it was due, and to buy questionable sushi in the Science Center), but the picture you take on August 27, the very first day of your freshman year, follows you for LIFE. You do not get to retake it during subsequent years...
