at a Mensa camp, and her boyfriend, Tim,
will be at his grandparents’ house

a prank war on her—or taking a job
on the stage crew at a local children’s
theater group, Mia chooses the lesser of
two evils and begins working at Little Tyke’s.
The
moment she meets the other student members
of the stage crew, Mia realizes she’s

Trembling in the Ivory Tower:
In this gem of a book, scholar and wit Kenneth Lasson
takes on all manner of excesses in the Ivory Tower which,
from his insider's viewpoint, constitute little less than
a full-scale assault on American values and mores. The
ideological warfare is being waged by a slew of vociferous
academicians whose predominance is manifested by stifling
academic bureaucracies, radical feminist and deconstructionist
faculties, and overbearing speech and conduct codes --
all in invidious pursuit of narrow but pervasive political
agendas. Lasson uses his sharply pointed pen to skewer
both the powerful and the petty, from perpetually outraged
law professors and would-be literati to ethnic hatemongers
with tenure.>>Read
