...work next year were honed at this wonderful newspaper and at the sports department of WHRB, the campus radio station. And the work ethic, attitude and resilience I possess have been developed in my classwork and experiences within Harvard life. So I am a happy graduate. It's odd, but when I think about this fact, everything else--the advising, the randomization, the General Wong's chicken--all seems to fade away. Like my diploma, family, friends and jobs, happiness is something I plan to hold onto...

But he prayed that the feeling from April would grow, that "something bigger...
...makes some odd celebrity sense that Regis Philbin is lending his name to a line of ties: his monochromatic cravats have inspired legions of followers. More difficult to explain are the recent designs of Grammy winner CARLOS SANTANA. Despite the fact that his taste in footwear has thus far gone largely unheralded, the singer announced last week that he would debut his own line of shoes. Brown Shoe Co. (makers of Buster Browns) will produce the Carlos collection for men and women; it will combine "cutting-edge fashion with multicultural influences." The results will be seen in department stores...
