...Still, even with such a hard-line stance on Harvard's part, students and former proctors say the system is lined with cracks that could lead to a tragedy much like that which occurred at MIT in September 1997 when first-year Scott Krueger died after overdosing on alcohol at a fraternity party...
...Three sets of underwear (white). Six pairs of white socks (no color bands, designs or logos). What was this, summer camp? Or just a hopelessly big bureaucracy trying to trim costs? The last few days bespoke a lot of the latter. My recruiting station says MEPS (I still don't know what that stands for) has lost my FS-86, a meticulous accounting of my history and friends that took me weeks to complete. (I do a short version - the last three years - in 20 minutes.) My future base in Flushing tells me they haven't heard from my recruiter...
...gonna be summer camp. PT (physical training) will still nearly kill me, and the verbal abuse just might finish the job. Smoking, by the way, is not allowed.

Meanwhile, the boys from Redmond countered, reasonably, that the judge hasn't made any legal conclusions...
...regulations - sort of a permanent peacekeeping mission in Redmond. But even that might not be so bad: As the company has spent the past few years under federal scrutiny, the software market has become even more competitive, while Microsoft, with $19.7 billion in sales this year, is still raking in the bucks. In the end, it very might well be that what doesn't kill Bill Gates will only make the tousle-haired billionaire stronger...
