...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...

...scaled back your ownership of pharmaceutical stocks, already have moved into "infrastructure" plays. The "Clinton stocks" people have identified -- H&R Block (because the tax code might change yet again), Caterpillar (because you need heavy equipment to build infrastructure), Paramount Communications (because of its huge textbook operation) and a zillion others -- may still be good buys.

...elements of House Party are familiar from a zillion youth movies: the boy who sneaks out to a teen hop, the school punks who spit out threats, the nice girl our hero flirts with and the even nicer one he winds up with. 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.
