...family isn't perfect is a headline that goes back so many generations, it has lost its shock value. But after the British tabloid News of the World revealed that PRINCE HARRY, 17, third in line to the throne, had spent last summer boozing it up at a local pub and smoking cannabis both there and on the grounds of Highgrove, his dad's country home 100 miles from London, the media have gnawed on the story like a Labrador retriever with a steak bone. Like so many royal tales before it, Harry's travails offer hacks an irresistible chance...
...ploy to scare the then 16-year-old Eton student straight; sources at St. James's Palace say it worked and that Harry had experimented with drugs only a few times. But the hard-partying prince also reportedly spent too many late summer nights downing pints at a pub near his dad's country home. So, over the recent Christmas break, Harry had to spend all his time with, you guessed it, his family...
...like this, someone will get real drunk and yell, 'Backstreet Boys.' If I were a regular 28-year-old guy, I'd think the same thing, that I'm a watered-down teen idol.

Indeed, there are few things that can bring together such an eclectic group of youngsters as an FDE. At the Pub, for instance, you will find 14-year-old debutante prima donnas and shady 26-year-olds hitting on those 14-year-old debutante prima donnas. You will find the high school kids...
...Going to the Pub on trips home is, these days, bittersweet, serving as a painful reminder of the sorry situation in Cambridge, which now is bereft of FDE’s. The Grille was the closest thing we had, and it has gone the way of the Dodo. Final clubs now have a monopoly on the weekend social scene; there is no public place, owned by a capitalist adult, where Harvard, Tufts and Boston College students can mingle with creepy Cambridge locals, all reveling in their shared bending of an obsolete and absurd drinking...
