I’ve been amazed and astonished as to how he can turn that switch from academics to football. I don’t know how he did it.” Columbia’s coach Bob Shoop agreed. “He’s a workhorse.

When Alice Waters, the celebrity chef, helped her daughter's Yale cafeteria switch to a seasonal, regional menu (even the chips are made from organic potatoes grown in Connecticut), students from other dining halls began forging IDs to crash the feast. When Brown introduced Rhode Island Macouns and Winesaps--replacing the Red Delicious and Granny Smiths grown for long-distance trucking--apple consumption doubled.
