...Dance—a tradition of his predecessor, Neil L. Rudenstine, who brought his wife Angelica to festooned Annenberg Hall to meet and mingle with first-years. (Admittedly, continuing this tradition might prove a little uncomfortable for newly single Summers, whose chosen dancing partner would undoubtedly be the object of considerable speculation.) Lee says that, although no dollar amount has been specified, she is sure that this year’s Springfest will see president’s office funding comparable to that of the nixed dance.

Legend is the runaway PC leader in China, a country that represents one of the planet's last great I.T. sales opportunities.

Geffen was known for years as a conscientious objector in a nation without the option to object. But this year, as Israel spirals ever further away from peace, Geffen draws his generation closer and the power of Geffen’s music to move and convey his message is clearly not dependent on language. This fall, the diehard pacifist and conscientious objector even joined the army, if only...
