...response in others. This is particularly obvious with buttons containing imperative statements like “Vote McCain” or more subtle statements like “Change We Can Believe In.” But even buttons that carry nothing more than a candidate’s name send a clear message: “I hold a certain set of political beliefs and you should, too.” When they adorn the clothing of teachers—who occupy positions of nearly unparalleled authority and influence in the lives of young students—this effect...
First, you seem to have forgotten D. Zachary Tanjeloff ’08, avid entrepreneur and party-thrower, whose name is locally, nationally, and globally recognizable. Another alumnus that should surely be included is Eugene M. Plotkin ’00, a research analyst for Goldman Sachs who was savvy enough to make $6.7 million before a judge sentenced him to 57 months in prison for something silly like “insider trading.” It would also be preposterous to skip Frederick H. Gwynne ’51, forever known to audiences everywhere as Herman Munster...

He lives with his wife of 23 years, Terry, and a teenage son and daughter on a 32-acre horse...
...openers, his name is assumed. James George Janos was born in Minneapolis in 1951; graduated from Roosevelt High School, after exploits on the football and swimming teams, in 1969; and immediately enlisted in the Navy, where he qualified for the SEALS underwater demolition team. During his campaign for Governor, he made much of his military service, at the intended expense of his opponents. A radio ad, set to the theme from the movie Shaft, contained the lyrics, "When the other guys were cashing government checks, he was in the Navy getting dirty and wet." He boasts a Vietnam Service Medal...
