Newspapers Destroy Young Lives at Harvard
Last year up at Harvard, it was the managing editor of the Harvard Crimson who newspapered so hard that he forgot to go to study and then had to leave campus. Second verse, same as the first! Earlier this week, '08 Drew Trombly was notified he'd have to step down as the paper's Editorial Chair for academic reasons. In an email circulated last night, the young academic no-goer said he'd be leaving Cambridge first thing this morning.
Good thing these kids are fiendishly beavering away at their newspapers—there's just job after job waiting for them down here after graduation. They should maybe quit. To paraphrase Dean Wormer, fat, drunk and newspapery is no way to go through life.
