...Radcliffe? Very few of us know. We know where Radcliffe Yard is, just up Garden Street. Perhaps we've ventured into the Lyman Common Room a couple times to check out the mentorship program or the Murry Research Partnerships. But ultimately, our affinities lie with Harvard. I see a zillion Harvard sweatshirts everyday, both on and off campus. I see very few Radcliffe ones...

Lots of wit in the pop-tune lyrics; too much raw-mouthed slurring of women and homosexuals in the dialogue. The difference here is that the filmmakers and the lead actors (including rap artists Kid 'N Play and Full Force) are all middle-class blacks. The script virtually carries warning labels for unwary teens. Drinking...
