...dream about discussing distributive justice with Professor of Government Michael J. Sandel over a sumptuous meal of chickwiches and cokes? Think you could talk Kenan Professor of Government Harvey "C minus" Mansfield Jr. '53 into an A if only he were under the spell of Annenberg's infamous Emerald Beef? Would your life be complete if, just once, you had the opportunity to say "excuse me Helen Vendler, would you please pass the salt...
...matter how McCain and Bush choose to paint Tuesday's numbers, the results spell disaster for Steve Forbes. And with Forbes out, Alan Keyes (who finished fourth with 4 percent in Delaware) remains the only also-ran in what's shaping up to be a take-no-prisoners showdown between Bush and McCain.

...sparkling GPA or a litany of awards may get a brief mention as the face across the table quickly scans your resum. However, the discovery that you and the interviewer have a common friend, or share a common interest, is golden. You could have no idea how to spell "investment bank," but if you're both amateur pilots, or your fathers went to the same law school, by golly, you're in. Your interviewer becomes your fiercest defender during the firm's decision-making process, and if he's got pull--again, it's who you know...
