...Square who "just collected the signatures of Harvard students. In case they became valuable later." Tourists took our pictures when we did our homework in the Yard. They videotaped the Yard squirrels. They rubbed John Harvard's foot. (Don't do that.) Domna the cafeteria checker had to forcibly usher them out of Annenberg. Ridiculous, we murmured among ourselves. Ridiculous, all of it. It's a College, after all. It's Harvard, people whispered in my ears. It's Harvard College, I retorted, feeling a bit like an animal at the zoo, biting the hands that feed...
...march on NATO last Saturday by seizing Pristina?s airport, it was simply the latest indicator that U.S. strategy in Kosovo has been premised on an unhealthy dose of wishful thinking. The result may have been not only to underestimate the complexity of the Balkans, but also to usher in an unpredictable and dangerous new period in international relations. "This whole thing hasn?t been well thought through," says TIME U.N. correspondent William Dowell. "We?ve been abysmally wrong on a number of questions.

That would almost certainly reignite the street protests that overthrew former President Suharto last year and usher in a period of renewed turmoil. On the other hand, the generals could opt for making a deal with Megawati, allowing her to take power, but within parameters defined by the military.

Clearly influenced by the get-a-babe-and-grab-the-largest-brew clubbiness proffered in the men's magazines, the two shows have hosts almost interchangeable in their ordinariness, sets that look like a freshman lounge, and a fair amount of Fred Flintstone-ish whining about the demandingness of women...
...under the seat or in the overhead rack? Probably not. It's more likely that ticket takers are trained to eyeball patrons from the rear, in a swift and nonthreatening manner, and give the extra-large-approaching signal (maybe a quick puffing out of the cheeks) to an usher, who then asks, with a helpful look and no smile at all, "Could I interest you in something in the full-cut section, sir?" I can imagine the final examination of the training session, with volunteers moving past the ticket box and the trainee shouting out, "Twenty-three...
