...musical genres was a big step for me. I had to put aside my adherence to alternative rock as a defining characteristic of my identity. Preconceived notions and stereotypes had to be discarded. It made me realize that I was secure enough to say, "Yes, I do like 'Who Let the Dogs Out'." No longer do I want to be pigeonholed by my musical preferences, nor do I judge others by theirs. I have to give full credit for my newfound security and open-mindedness to Napster, and to Harvard for allowing its use on the University servers. I pity...
...planning an exit strategy: the Mt. Auburn fire escapes. With spectacular views over the roof of Spice and over towards Holyoke Center, they are nonetheless the best backdrop Harvard offers for dramatic scenes of introspection in the style of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

...Manhattan apartment of First Amendment lawyer Victor Kovner. More a vague Democrat than a fierce one, he rarely mentions George W. Bush in his statements, although he tells me he would never have represented the Texas Governor. "I believe in Gore's side, which is, Let's get an accurate count," he says. "I don't know about Gore as a campaigner, but here he has been reflective, thoughtful and searching for the right thing to do. I was surprised when he announced Tuesday night he was giving up any thought of changing an elector's vote. If this were...
