They were also scheduled to demonstrate at Memorial Church on Saturday afternoon against Rev. Peter J. Gomes, Plummer professor of Christian morals and Pusey minister in the Memorial Church, after their trip to Provincetown on Saturday morning. They did not appear...
Such celebrity hipsters as director Quentin Tarantino, Dennis Rodman and rocker Lenny Kravitz have painted their nails for years, but now nine-year-old boys are showing up at nail-polish parties in Dallas and Los Angeles. High school coaches from Orinda, Calif., to North Stamford, Conn., have ordered dozens of bottles in school colors for football players to wear on game day.

Teach these bad apples a lesson they can never forget: one snap and you're out. It would be a good lesson too for all the kids who look...
