...that's a myth. I have several friends who have yet to get their first B--and one of them just graduated. It is difficult, but if you really want Rank Group I status, it's yours (If you don't know what rank groups are yet, I suggest you read the Handbook for Students a little more carefully.) But for those few, academics are their niche. They are perfectly happy, but they're not the only ones. There is so much else to do here that after a while, you'll see where your priorities...
...data suggest creatine is safe enough. There is some controversy over whether it causes diarrhea, cramping or dehydration. And there have been no long-term studies to show what happens over five, 10 or 15 years. If you still want to be a guinea pig, hook up with a knowledgeable trainer who can monitor your condition.

...while simultaneously appealing to their contemporary nomadic impulse. To those who will never follow in his footsteps, submerged as they are in a world of cynicism, self-interest and frantic consumption, nothing could be more vicariously gratifying than Che's disdain for material comfort and everyday desires. One might suggest that it is Che's distance, the apparent impossibility of duplicating his life anymore, that makes him so attractive. And is not Che, with his hippie hair and wispy revolutionary beard, the perfect postmodern conduit to the nonconformist, seditious '60s, that disruptive past confined to gesture and fashion...
