...community members. Harvard does better than the rest of America: Of the 93 million volunteers nationwide, most do what pastor Eugene F. Rivers III scorns as "recreational community service"--baking cookies for girl scouts or baby-sitting for a neighbor. Only eight percent work in "human services" --in soup kitchens, shelters, camps and inner-city schools. Virtually all Harvard students fall into this latter category of real community service. Harvard students certainly care for and about the poor...
...assimilate himself or herself into one, uniform identity. Other models have lately come into vogue: the "salad" model, for instance, in which different people can be tossed together in the same bowl without dissolving into one another. One of my friends likes to think of America as a "chunky soup:" Cultural sharing occurs, but the borders of individuals or groups remain intact, though permeable.

It is no wonder that an admissions process that favors overachievers should produce a campus with seemingly more clubs, groups, teams and organizations than students. Amid the alphabet soup of student groups it's hard enough just to keep track of who the leaders are, much less determine how to allocate our finite capital of esteem (after all, if everyone were equally respected, then no one would be respected...
...Solaris operating system what it did to Navigator with Explorer. In fact, McNealy's primary motive for supporting the Netscape buyout may be the prospect of saving the Netscape browser. One of Microsoft's big advantages is its ability to integrate its Windows and browser software, offering customers a soup-to-nuts package deal. With AOL on his side, McNealy can offer a similar deal--as long as Case decides that a healthy Navigator is more important to him than keeping AOL safely ensconced on Windows...
