...funny thing happened to me one Sunday in September 1997. I had returned to Harvard early that year, and as I was walking through Harvard Yard, I noticed several thousand people seated in front of Memorial Church. At first, I took little notice. But as I tried to pass through the Yard and heard President Neil L. Rudenstine's voice over the loudspeakers, I suddenly realized what was going on: Convocation for the Class of 2001. In a fit of nostalgia, I sat down in the back and eavesdropped. And as I glanced around the Yard, I noticed that...
...From Sunday through Tuesday, the theater would show a double feature, and then on Wednesdays would have a "review day" on which the theater would show a lot of old movies...
...Catholic Mass in the 1960s, after the modernizing church council known as Vatican II. But Muskett doesn't remember the '60s either. To her, today's perky folk-guitar Masses are more grating than groovy. "Catholics of my generation are starved for the real thing," she says.

Serb mortars landed in Albania, scattering refugees and relief workers, and Milosevic's armies continued to do battle with KLA troops. "The fighting isn't over yet," said...
...overseeing a sector. Absent: the Russians, who got Milosevic and NATO to shake hands and who have have some much-needed credibility as babysitters of Kosovo's Serb minority (having not just finished bombing them). But NATO doesn't want any partners -- chief Javier Solana insisted on "Fox News Sunday," that "there will be one commander" of the postwar force -- and the Russians aren't looking to take any more orders from the West. "Under our law and under our morality," said former prime minister and current peace broker Viktor Chernomyrdin on Sunday, "we will never be under NATO." Right...
