Hanson is making the biggest splash--the trio's MMMBop is currently the No. 2 song on Billboard's singles chart. The group is composed of three brothers: Zachary (drums), 13-year-old Taylor (keyboards) and 16-year-old Isaac (guitar). You'd be hard-pressed to find more appealing youngsters. Raised largely in Tulsa, Okla., they are endearingly innocent and spontaneously rambunctious. Their mother schools the three (and three younger siblings) at home, and their father works as a financial exec for an oil-drilling company. The family traveled a lot, and the brothers passed the time listening...

But Taylor has been painfully wrenching his way into manhood since 1971, when he sang, "Let the boy become a man" on the album Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. "I was aware of that back then. It just takes a long time to get here," he explains. "Recovery is part of it. Death is part of it. Love that goes bad is part of it. Failing to be a parent is part of it. You have to fail over and over...
When asked about Berkowitz's credentials for tenure, Andrew Sabl '90, one of the organizers of the letter said, "I think the answer is on the back cover of the book on Nietzsche. Raves from Charles Taylor and Alasdair MacIntyre don't come along every day, particularly for such a young scholar...
