Yourth-Fears adopt Nar Bight

By Ryann Collins | August 30, 2001

For fourth years who made a showing at the Biltmore Bar and Grill last night, at some point you probably glanced down at the orange cup clenched in your hand and read the words aloud to yourself. Nar Bight. You said it again, just to make sure your reading skills didn't truly waste away to nothing over the summer. Nar Bight. And then it registered, and a knowing look crossed over your face. "You can't fool a Wahoo," the cup boasts on the back.

The Good Book

By Catherine Dunn | August 27, 2001

One hundred and sixty-one years after his death, Thomas Jefferson can still raise eyebrows. This time it's not what the liberty-loving patriot said, but how he said it - through his own cut-and-paste version of the New Testament that distills Jesus' life into a scant 82 pages.
