Why would anyone want to become a politician? It seems to me to
be a lot of hard work. First, you have to figure out how to speak
your mind without committing to anything concrete. You must dig up
mud on your opponents while hiring document shredders to make sure

to navigate the corruption and scheming that fills Capitol
Hill.

Welcome to Keaton it Real. It's a science column. Well, it's
supposed to be a science column, but I may get bored with that.
Then it will be a technology column. Or maybe a ""what I ate today

These are all possibilities, and I hope you bear with me if I get a
bit too pedestrian.

With the end of the semester drawing near, students across
campus are beginning to study for final exams. For many, this
involves spending large amounts of time at the library reviewing
course material, and not very much time at home sleeping. This may

habit to foster.
