Overheard in Frist:
Girl: That Mark Foley is so creepy!
Guy: Mark Foley…is he in Cap?
Something about last week—Tuesday night, Wednesday noon—made me want to see the Princeton University Players' production of Into the Woods.
I think I was the first person unassociated with Swimming Upstream to see the production. Ever. This seems like pretty heady stuff as I sit in warm darkness waiting for the cast's final run-through to begin. I feel like an insider: I watch volunteers scurry behind the set with ...
Last week, Princeton was subpoenaed for the names and information of almost forty students, in preparation for lawsuits the RIAA is bringing against them against them. On Monday, the Nassau Weekly's Jessica Woods sat down with one of the accused to find out the real story.
Operation Style put on their annual charity fashion show on Friday on the Frist South Lawn. It looked like a benefit in a second-rate but affluent suburb, or a production at a private school looking to increase its endowment.

The Nassau Weekly was unprepared; it was eating a snack and catching up on its current events when it stumbled upon a news story about a friendly-looking member of the United States Congress.
