...sideline to making movies, Michael Caine is a prominent restaurateur. But he might have been an expert vintner--for he knows how to wait for good things to ripen. His career, for instance. For nine years he played in British rep theater before getting a meaty film role, in Zulu, at 30; the credit read, "Introducing Michael Caine."

Barney Frank (D-Mass.) has sponsored a bill that would strike the Drug Free Student Loans Provision. His bill garnered over 60 co-sponsors in the last session of congress. Thus far, over seventy student governments and national organizations have come out against the law and in support of Frank’s bill. Last year, Yale became the fourth college that guarantees to reimburse students for any federal aid lost due to Question 35. These and other acts have put pressure on politicians...
