...final clubs at Harvard have seen better days. With their doors closed to outsiders--for some even to members--they are no longer the party places of yesteryear. As the punch season draws to a close, the message Harvard now sends to final clubs seems to be one of peaceful co-existence: We pretend you don't exist, you pretend our rules don't apply.

Even the lonely losers of yesteryear are no longer locked in suburban basements playing Dungeons & Dragons; they are in downtown lofts uploading Web pages and concocting e-business ventures. There's hardly anyone left in our work force to mow the lawns and flip the burgers. Today's teenagers hold such a commanding position in our economy...
