I delighted to read in a John Adams biography that when his son John Quincy was at Harvard, he got wasted and streaked the quad. <BR/><BR/>There's something so interesting to read that people haven't changed. Like the way people were preserved in Pompeii, and how we've found their jewelry and decided they'd blend right in more or less today. Or speculating that one of the hominids - the name escapes me, homo habilis? - whatever, could probably sit on a city bus and just come across as "hairy, takes public transportation guy."<BR/><BR/>But then again that's sort of depressing to think that we're stuck doing the same things over and over.
