...their parents would bronze their little white shoes. Now that boomers are beaming with babes of their own, they can preserve those memories in a more space-age substance: clear plastic resin. California artist Marguerite Elliot, 39, came up with the idea two years after the birth of her sister's twins.

...will also pit sister against sister in the case of Susanne G. Watnick '90 and Gail R. Watnick, currently in her first year among the Bulldogs. But the Watnicks won't be the bloodthirstiest antagonists in the stadium today. "It's nice to have the spirit of Harvard against Yale," said Susanne Watnick.

The Fairfax junior had a mother who was a junkie, a sister who was a prostitute and a father who had long ago abandoned the family. "I gave her a writing assignment, and she was brilliant," says Smolin. "She still had trouble, but she got into college and now she wants to be a writer." What keeps many teachers going is the conviction that somewhere out there, there are more victory students waiting...
