We know that Kerry’s presidential bid has caused him to relive the Vietnam War. Well, it has caused me to relive college years.
Back in those silly days, my fellow girlfriends and I would head over to Harvard Yard on week-end husband-hunting missions. It did not take us long to realize that many of the boys contained within the Yard enjoyed and came to expect the perks associated with being a “Harvard Man.” Many a fellow was left frustrated by my band of sisters who did not comply with the ethos of “You must, because I am.” The life-changing experience of witnessing that frustration has been forever seared into my memory. (I did not marry a Harvard Man.)
p>I see that same frustration today in the Kerry Campaign. The news of the possible arrival of Mike McCurry, a Princeton Man, to cure what ails Kerry sounds enticing. But if I were Kerry, I would do what the Royal Family does whenever they’ve stepped in it : get an infusion of good, steady, middle-class blood. But wait… forget it: The middle class are supporting Bush. br> — Mrs. J. B. Jackson III (Janet) /p> p> CHOPPED DOWN br> Re: Jay D. Homnick’s Iranian Judo and Other Oxy Morons :
