...THAT RADCLIFFE HAS THROWN IN the towel and ceded its land to Harvard, the admissions brochure, our diplomas and the Harvard-Radcliffe Science Fiction Association will no longer be sporting its moniker. But those are the least of the changes in store; the biggie will hit when Radcliffe stops manufacturing all that other cool stuff with its name on it. True, Harvard regalia rules the Square, but girls and boys looking for some Radcliffe gear are not yet in trouble. The Harvard Shop on Mass. Ave stocks a Radcliffe kiddie T-shirt option, albeit somewhat hidden under piles of "Make...
...hand that feeds us, but soon enough we'll be digging our own grave. Folks, the buck stops here--if we don't gain control of the situation soon, we'll be up shit's creek without a paddle and we'll all have to throw in the towel...
...viciousness of the military response hardened attitudes. "Damn this country!" muttered a student as he tied a wet towel around his face to ward off the tear gas.

Sadly, the towels never caught on, nor did the all-hemp suit Harrelson had designer Giorgio Armani create for the 1997 Oscars. Undeterred, Harrelson unveiled the Headwaters Hiker earlier...
...wonder. No President has mentioned the American People as incessantly as President Clinton. (We talk about him an awful lot too.) He presents himself by turns as the American People's benefactor, slave and towel-snapping locker-room pal. In his rhetoric the American People, for their part, serve alternately as a goad, an inspiration, a shaming device and, of course, an excuse. "I need to go back to work for the American People," he notoriously said on Jan. 26, and then refused to discuss the Lewinsky scandal for almost seven months. Too busy. The American People's work really...
