...watching the 45-year-old second son of the former President become the front runner in this year's gubernatorial race, Bush seems so different, so much softer around the edges. To help save his family, Bush recently made perhaps the ultimate leap for the son of the ultimate Wasp: he converted to Catholicism. It wasn't entirely an alien experience. Bush has been accompanying his wife to church off and on since their 1974 marriage, and many observers had erroneously concluded that he had already adopted her religion.

Born of the Wasp male ascendancy in a self-confidently patriarchal age, the magazine (which routinely used the word men to mean everyone) has passed, along with its parent company, through a series of self-transformations, from an age of industry and structured authority into a post-cold war era of free-flowing information and diversity.

Once limited to those members of a very elite class, the determining factor of who is eligible to debut now seems to be more dependent on whether parents are willing to pay exorbitant sums of money to showcase, or at least throw...
...long-but feebly-standing marriage bewteen a Jewish couple in 1938 Brooklyn. The wife, Sylvia (Tegan Shohet '01), has psychosomatic paralysis of the legs after seeing daily newspaper photographs of Nazi humiliation of Jews. Husband Phillip (Jesse Kellerman '01) is an anxious, fundamentally confused individual submerged in a WASP business; he approaches any given situation with bullish anxiety...
