...that summer job search. Carry out the comprehensive cleaning of your room. Start studying for the GRE. So what if you're only a first-year? Have you been neglecting your senior thesis for the past few months? Well, exam period is the perfect time to start that first chapter.

SIMPSON trial, Tammy Bruce might have remained a very local hero in the fight for women's rights--an outspoken head of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women who is host of a popular weekend show on KFI-AM, a top-rated talk-radio station. But when hundreds of journalists from around the world pitched camp in Bruce's backyard, the 33-year-old former publicist lost no opportunity to share her views about Simpson's guilt and the issue of domestic violence. Soon she was being featured...
