For 18 years of my life, drug addicts, alcoholics and rehab facilities were only things I saw in movies. Depression and therapists seemed out of my world.

Harvard University proved that its trend-setting ability extends outside the Ivy League yesterday, with the addition of the University of Virginia to the ever-growing list of schools nixing their early admission policies.

David Hollenberg - Penn's new Unversity architect - is all about "Penn-ness." It's an undefinable word Hollenberg uses to describe the aesthetic heart of Penn's campus - an undefinable mixture of architectural styles and eras.

The walk eastward from the Penn campus to Center City is, as Penn President Amy Gutmann put it, "ugly."
