Lesson 2: The gas works, too. So much here comes with extra padding, like the "pugil sticks" (think of those Q-Tip-like things on "American Gladiators"), or dull edges, like our bayonets - that our guard was somewhat lowered. If you've never been forcefully dispersed by the authorities with this stuff, here's a rundown: It's a lungful of bleach and a faceful of Tabasco...
...books, taken together, right that imbalance somewhat. Edward M. Kennedy, A Biography by New York Times reporter Adam Clymer (William Morrow; 692 pages; $27.50) is a painstaking reconstruction of the Senator's life that winds up placing him alongside such other Senate giants as Hubert Humphrey and Robert Taft.

...council is a somewhat pathetic organization that may not inspire the interest of the best people on this campus. Or, there may no longer be any people deserving of campus-wide leadership. Perhaps all that remain are local deities. Either way, this year's race for council president is shaping up to be yet another embarrassment to the notion of student government at Harvard, and more sadly, a sign that the purported greatness of Harvard undergraduates may be on the wane...
