NY Mag has discovered the root cause of the mayor's recent slide in the polls: he went to college at Johns Hopkins. "Hopkins has a knack for producing a singular sort of characterone in which the DNA of the computer jock has been gene-spliced with that of the arrogant med studentand it's an ugly hybrid. The classic Hopkins grad isn't just a dork; he's a dork with a superiority complex." He's not kidding. When I was in school, "Hopkins" was quite literally a synonym for assholish cutthroat behavior. The occasional jerk would steal all the practice tests for a midterm in an attempt to sabotage everyone else, (and by extension, lower the grading curve,) and someone would invariably exclaim, "What the fuck?! This isn't Hopkins!"
