WAITING FOR CHELSEA

Early applications to Harvard are due in less than two weeks. Chelsea, we're waiting for you.

Sure, your parents went to Yale Law School. But your mom went to school around here, and didn't you enjoy the neon-ringed, newly-established Loker Commons when you visited? Not to mention the bean burritos?

Last we heard, you were leaning toward the Ivy bastion of free love in Providence. It's not a bad place, really, but could you really go to a school whose name is a color, and not a very pretty one at that?

As that Halloween deadline approaches, consider your options carefully. You could go to a Gothic second-rate school in a town whose name itself--New Haven--is a cruel joke. Or you could go here. You could sacrifice any claim to fame and fortune. Or you could go here. It's an easy choice, really. As Dean Fitzsimmons will append to the bottom of your early acceptance letter, Hope you'll join us!
