...Called Life." About: Life as viewed by a 15-year-old girl. Criticisms: the lifestyle of a bisexual was treated "approvingly," teen sex of both types was driving force behind the show. Gee, how completely inaccurate. Teens these days never think about sex. Uh-uh. All those teen pregnancies? Made up to scare us. The Media Research Center made a big error in its assessment of the show, incidentally--according to the Center, on the show "abstinence was not a choice." Wrong. The main character--the one everyone knew, identified with, turned in to see--chose not to sleep with...
...first time I heard the demo, I thought 'Uh-oh, the Monkees,'" says PHIL SOLEM, one-half of the pop duo the Rembrandts. He was listening to a tape of the theme song for a TV show called Friends, which he and Danny Wilde had been asked to record. But after they added their two cents to the song, he got to like it.

...Uh-oh! You've just insulted someone's ethnicity/religion/sexual orientation and/or hinted the President might be in physical danger if he visits your state. Now what?

...Reclusive Dean: I got a call one day from (then) reporter Steve E. Frank '95 (former Ed Chair), requesting my presence on a stakeout. Stakeout? Like Richard Dreyfus/Emilio Estevez-watching-and-taking pictures-of-beautiful-women-stakeout? Uh, no. This would be a get-up-really-early-and-wait-for-the-dean-of-the-b usiness-school-to-show-up-in-his-office-stakeout. The guy wouldn't talk to the Crimson (said he was busy until the fall of the next year) so there we were lurking around his office. The dean's first strategy was to pretend there...
