...wishing to advance their own views on a topic must usually follow certain forms; I wish to discuss Harvard in a grand and over broad manner, and hence must resort to the guise of review books that do the same.

Brown is what bettors would call a mortal lock to win the Democratic nomination. The latest Field poll has the Governor running about 45 points ahead of his nearest rival, Novelist Gore Vidal, 56, who refers to Brown as "Lord of the Flies"-a snide reference to last summer's Mediterranean fruit-fly crisis.

It all seems so obvious...

Baltimore is a much better place without him, and the Orioles certainly don't need him to remain serious contenders. We have proved that fact in the past two seasons...
