PRINCETON-RUTGERS--Ex-Tiger coach Jake McCandless may have been charged with padding the Princeton admissions roles with football prospects, but you wouldn't know it from the rag-tag squad the Tigers will put on the field.

That prophet would have more to mock today. Shortly before he died, Duchamp complained: "In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society." The épater la bourgeoisie act gets harder every day. Each new outrage is given a price tag and immediately sold to some collector−frequently as an investment.

There's a closed-circuit TV intercom between front and back seats...
...immediate task for the Athletic Department is refining the master plan to a price and design acceptable to the Corporation. Once a plan is approved, the full price tag--including endowment for maintenance--must be raised before construction starts. Fund raising for special projects is usually restrieted to lists of potential donors drawn up by the Development Office--in this case, mostly people interested in Harvard athletics who would not ordinarily give to Harvard...
