...that quick to call her a hero. "True whistle-blowers try to expose their organization's shortcomings before they cause problems, not after," argued a Californian. "Why didn't Rowley put her job on the line back in August, before the attacks? That would've taken real guts." A Floridian dismissed Rowley as "a woman in a midlife crisis trying to get some attention," and another Sunshine Stater derided the memo as "a bid for publicity as she plans her next career move--in Hollywood." But to a California admirer, that is exactly where Rowley's story belongs: "If they...

"If Helen of Troy was blessed with such a face," wrote a Floridian, "then I sympathize completely with the behavior of Paris." Allowed an Alabaman: "She may be the healthiest person I've ever seen." Office workers in Indiana asked, "We're racking our brains--who is she? How can we call her?" Our cover girl is model Deirdre Seltzer, but her phone number...
...sweet suggestions of Merry S. Chiampa ’04, another Floridian, include “Crimson Crazy Crunch” for Harvard and “Bulldog Blast” for Yale. Gator Glebov advocates “Skull Swirl” and “Yuppie Delight.” Lackman’s approach is more tactical. “The strategy is to call the Yale ice cream something gross, like ‘Eli’s Entrails’ or ‘Berry Bulldog Bits’ and give Harvard?...
