Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger…
Friday, 26 February 2010
by Julia Bumke
While we joke that this blessed Orange Bubble of ours is pretty darn all-consuming, especially with the vaguely incestuous dating pool that is our campus, it’s undeniable that Princeton alums are a bit…shall we say…into the whole alumni thing. They chant, they booze it up at Reunions every year (“Yeah guys, third reunion! CHUG!”), they
Safety Watch: Ficus Edition
Tuesday, 27 October 2009
by Will Saborio
So you know Princeton’s a ghetto. We’ve already mapped out the Bloods/Crips/Latin Kings turf for you (watch out Forbes!). What’s the deal now? Who do you call for help? There’s only one name in town. Y’know. Time and again, we’ve written about Public Safety’s obsessive pursuit of justice. Cracking down on water guns, relentlessly pursuing

by David Walter
The CIA’s on campus this week searching for new recruits. While I won’t be signing up for an interview (OR WILL I? ESPIONAGE!), their arrival did make me think of my favorite Princeton spook, Jim Thompson, whose life – and death – reads like something straight out of a spy novel. Born to a wealthy

After Jack Bauer headbutted Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough at an afterparty for the Met Costume Institute Gala last week, Brooke Shields ’87 came to his defense– Wait. Can we repeat that? Jack Bauer headbutted someone. And broke his nose. McCollough needed surgery.

by Brian No
Lauren Bush ’06, Dubya’s niece and model, has done a lot since graduating with an anthropology major three years ago. Last summer, she launched the FEED 100 Campaign, which sells stylish burlap bags to put food in the mouths of hungry Rwandan children. For instance, if you purchase a $30 bag, you will provide 100

NY Times Profiles Orszag ’91
Sunday, 05 April 2009
by Brian No
The New York Times recently profiled Pres. Obama’s budget director, Peter Orszag ’91, who has been tasked with the unenviable job of overseeing the federal budget. We learn that he is a “supernerd” with grand ambitions: Everything about the way he has interpreted his new job speaks of ambition: the policy heavyweights he has hired
