Alan Dershowitz wasn’t the best student growing up. He joked that below his high school yearbook photo it said, “Mouth of Webster, head of clay.”
Sometimes a little bird is all it takes.
In 1976, Stephen Wozniak withdrew from the University of California at Berkeley to form Apple Computer Inc. with his good friend Steve Jobs.

Students sorted themselves by sticky note on Thursday night.
Each fall at UF marks the beginning of a new era as another group of recently admitted Gators arrive on campus. These students can look forward to defining moments that will be etched in their minds and will live on long after they walk across the stage on graduation day.

On Tuesday, Gainesville will get a glimpse of the increasingly popular God-concentrated argumentative cavalcade appearing in many of the auditoriums across the country and the world, the local showcase the Accent speaker’s bureau has dubbed The Great Religion Debate. These loosely related, independently organized events have made celebrities out of their dialectical pugilists, among them Richard Dawkins, William Lane Craig and Shmuley Boteach, although I must admit it seems the notoriety gained from these debates is severely biased toward the atheistic side of the podium.

Mr. Pibb and Red Vines? Crazy delicious.
Beauty and the Jock shared the stage Monday at the Reitz Union.

While we doubt that the overwhelming response was due entirely to the public pity party we held for ourselves last week, we think it helped.

This letter is not so much a response to Jeremy Piven’s last minute cancellation, but rather to the Accent Speakers Bureau’s choice in speakers. The fact that $85,000 was going to be spent on a second-rate actor is pathetic.
Jeremy Piven, who plays Ari Gold on HBO’s hit series “Entourage,” canceled his Monday appearance at UF.
Director and producer Brett Ratner will be stopping by Tuesday at 8 p.m. to speak at the University Auditorium.
