ASIDE from the hundreds of other ways in which people may be divided into two camps, such as cat people and non-cat people, Yankee fans and human beings, and so forth, the Western world is comprised of NASCAR fans and non-NASCAR fans.
LET'S TALK more about whether the honor system is dead. In this space last week, I made the argument that it is.
SEXY LEGS or not, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's comment about Condoleezza Rice was inexcusable.
I REALLY didn't enjoy taking the SATs. I scored well, but I hated all the drills to prepare, hated getting up early for it and hated those people who wanted to compare scores when we got them back.
COLLEGE students drink; it's what they do. The surest way to turn a jam-packed party into a ghost town is to spread the word that the keg's kicked.
AS FAR as I remember, a typical school day begins something like this: The principal presents the morning announcements over the intercom.
The new Tech Trends column by Nick Lawler is a welcome addition as a regular Business feature. The critical role technological innovation, and the tech world generally, plays in the current business world fairly dictates that every serious newspaper cover technology developments.

SOMETIMES we get so caught up in our causes that we become petty, stupid and dogmatic about them.

In smaller schools of the University, however, the atmosphere is a bit different.
STUDENTS will vote later this month on amendments to the honor constitution that will have a profound impact on the fairness of honor trials.
IT REALLY is time to move on. A former president who attracts controversy like honey attracts bees is certainly front page material for The National Enquirer, but even juicy gossip can get dry after it's been repeatedly beaten to a dead pulp.
I'M TURNING myself in. I probably would have gotten away with it, would have marched down the Lawn and gotten my diploma next year, and no one would have been the wiser.
