Further along Plympton Street sits another such bookselling outpost. The Starr Bookshop, tucked into the belly of the Lampoon Castle. Starr sells used books exclusively, which merits distinction among poor starving artists that even Grolier doesn't garner. Unlike fellow Mclntyre and Moore Booksellers (just down Mount Auburn Street), Starr has atmosphere. Mclntyre's white linoleum floors can in no way measure up to Starr's patterned brick, and though both stores have overflowing shelves, only Starr's sag gracefully. Both have exposed pipes, but only Starr's are copper; poor starving artists are still artists, after...
After Grolier and Starr, any other bookstore (conventional or no) in Harvard Square would be anticlimactic, but Schoenhof's Foreign Books really disappoints. Its bright blue carpet and uniformly shiny particle board shelves scream expense. To its credit, it does stock books in languages ranging from French to Cornish and Babylonian. Unfortunately, at Harvard, the romance of the other is often translated into pretension rather than unconventionality. As Elizabeth C. Oelsner '00, who spends entirely too much time in the Schoenhof's building, comments, "Foreign books are nicer. They're pretty. They're small. They're expensive," none of which...
WASHINGTON: Kenneth Starr's grand jury takes the day off Wednesday -- a sensible rest to take between two days of marathon testimony from Vernon Jordan. The legendary Washington lawyer and Clinton confidant gave exactly the kind of performance you'd expect Tuesday: cool, calm and collected. Jordan told reporters he had answered the grand jury's questions "truthfully, completely and to the best of my ability" -- just as he said he would way back on the second day of the Lewinsky scandal...
...what those answers were, and what they will be when Jordan resumes testimony Thursday, no one's quite sure. One thing is certain -- it's all Lewinsky-related. Jordan is not answering questions on the Webster Hubbell matter, for which he is also still under Starr's microscope. The current White House staff is playing the danger of Jordan's evidence for all it's worth. But Jack Quinn, a former White House counsel, told CNN: "I've not heard anything that suggests he would testify in a way that would be damaging to the President." When all is said...
...that Starr's efforts are anywhere near exhausted. According to the L.A. Times, he's subpoenaed the legal effects of Lewinsky's former lawyer, Francis Carter. According to CNN, he's dragging Betty Currie and Bruce Lindsey back before the jury Thursday. Maybe after those repeat performances, Starr will feel inclined to finally call Monica herself -- and get this salacious media event over with...
