This President is not a dedicated collector. He owns one small Grandma Moses painting, one Charles Russell bronze statue of a boxer (a gift) and several contemporary western artworks. His modest gun collection came from gifts. He has no yacht-just a 12-ft. canoe, the Truluv. His stereo rig would be spurned by the average twelve-year-old. The Corum $20-gold-piece watch he sports is a ten-year-old gift from friends. A couple of years ago, he and Nancy made a pact for a mutual Christmas gift, a power log splitter...

The next day Texas Rangers found Martin hiding in a stereo cabinet in his mother's house and arrested him on an old assault charge. Free on bail, Martin denies everything.

Don't worry, because if you're bothering another Harvard student the chances are very slim that they'll be too shy to complain. These rules exist mainly as pretexts for disciplinary action if someone really--really, really--gets out of hand, or worse, embarasses Harvard.
