Opening the Houses for those few additional days would also alleviate another problem. This past September, with upper-class move-in on a weekday, students living in the region were forced to wait for the weekend for their parents to bring the majority of their belongings--or working parents had to take a day off. Harvard would be wise to schedule move-in day on a week...
...pretty embarrassing: Not even Nikolai Budarin, the strongest cosmonaut of the current crop, could open that darn hatch -- and he broke three wrenches trying. ?I am somewhat distressed that we have failed to open the hatch,? Solovyov conceded. That?s an understatement. The space walk now has to wait until a new stock of wrenches is sent up in the next cargo ship -- and Mission Control has to wait to see if the world noticed...
While you wait for your moment of truth--the day you'll be called to appear before Ken Starr's grand jury--your mom is recovering from hers. For two days she was roasted by Starr's lawyers, who wanted to know everything about your sexual history--but didn't even get to your relationship with Bill Clinton before your mom broke down, hyperventilating and screaming. She's still a wreck; the tranquilizers are helping a bit, but your dad's TV interview last week unnerved her again. And she dreads Starr's lawyers. If they could do that...
...keep you young--there's that diamond stud. But beyond the extra dollars, "breaking through" at that age, as it seems likely that Banks has done with the monolithic and masterly Cloudsplitter, may be worth little more than a wry smile. In any case, it has been a long wait and a hard climb. When Banks was the age of his students, he was a plumber in Concord, N.H., working construction. Plumbing was how the Banks men, his father and grandfather, earned their living. Russell had tried college (Colgate, on a full scholarship) but had busted out after...
...down and something about the wait snapped me into a paranoid inner dialogue. "The MTV producers probably hope you'll be their fall guy," I thought, "the overly studious Ivy League student who doesn't win because he can't get his nose out of the books long enough to know jack about pop culture. Most viewers would probably get a kick out of seeing a Harvard guy wearing the dunce cap. Sure, maybe you think you're a TV junkie, but anything you screw up'll look like cluelessness. A hundred bucks says they play the `Harvard Guilt' card...
