Modeled after best-sellers aimed at the booming young adult market, like the preppy guide and How To Eat Like a Ktd, Stone says he hopes Zit Wars will debunk "the myths and phobias on acne." The book also will offer an inexpensive acne-fighting regimen using over-the counter treatment...

...York politics, and Dartmouth, as we all know, is having a fine season. When Columbia can rustle up only three points against Cornell, just how many can it expect to score against a team which ranks first nationally in defense?
