...truth be told, there's no way Jeff wouldn't have recognized this decidedly not random Harvard chick. We worked together on a campaign during the summer before our freshman year, and we kept in touch. Jeff became known among my friends as "The Bear" in honor of his imposing stature, a full 15 inches taller than me, which made for interesting conversations! At some point, a mutual friend confronted me, insulted by my neglecting to tell her that Jeff and I were dating. I was taken aback since, I knew nothing about it.

...their own special society. After a successful year of Yankee-doodling congregations, the group decided their society should live on after their graduation and they elected "to admit seventeen of the most worthy members of the junior class."

"I still can't believe I beat him." (Pablo's heirs can take...
...phasing out his career as a pitchman to focus on off-camera business pursuits. "I don't want my name just used," he told the Chicago Sun Times. "I want to understand the business itself, see the value in something other than just endorsing." Jordan, who will honor all his outstanding contracts, earns roughly $35 million a year from hawking products, down about $15 million since he left basketball. Oddly, news of this retirement did not spark endless televised commentary on his greatest commercials or reruns of his pioneering pitches for underwear, sports drinks, batteries and hot dogs...
