...This transcendent moment erased two days in which Bush blinked his way through TelePrompTered remarks like a schoolboy reciting his lessons. In one of those staged events that are designed to look candid but fail utterly, he paced behind his desk during a photo-op phone call with Mayor Rudy Giuliani, accepting the mayor's invitation to tour his city's wreckage. Bush looked like a nervous teenager making weekend plans, especially in contrast to Giuliani, who was magnificent during New York City's darkest hour. (He had worn a New York fire department cap, and he deserved to wear...
Alas, Bannon's schoolboy interest in procuring beer was his eventual undoing. Weeks later, he ran afoul of Andover's zero-tolerance alcohol ban and was booted out of the school. (Interestingly, Vanity Fair reports that Tweeds' brother Jeb, busted for alcohol a few years later, was permitted to stay on. Go figure.)

Djelic is one of the few who has come back. Though he looks a bit like an overgrown schoolboy in a business suit, he has had a brilliant career in France and the United States. After graduating as a top student from France's élite Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, he collected two M.B.A.s from Harvard and a third from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales...
...hook up but also to find out about whatever may titillate or tantalize them. There is, it seems, a chat room for anything and everyone. Spouses seeking greater satisfaction, singles who don't want to wait until marriage, cohabitors, minority groups such as gays, lesbians, spankers, even the pimply schoolboy wondering if autoerotism is ruining his complexion - in today's Asia, there's never been a better time for any of these groups to find answers, action ... and fulfillment...
