No substitute for talent, is there?
She's toast unless she comes right out and criticizes Bush on national TV.

Deport her to the salt mines...or some similar un-Harvardian fate.

Why isn't "novelist" in quotes? It really should be.

I could pick 29 instances from a John Updike novel that mirrored my own life's experiences... but of course I neglected to write them down and publish them.

OK...mildly cute. Your pic is a little less complimentary, but she's just keeping the corner cutting/cheating tradition alive at Harvard a la Teddy Kennedy.

Like the heroine of "Opal," Ms. McCafferty's character, Jessica Darling, visits the campus, strives to earn good grades to get in and makes a triumphant high school graduation speech.
Jessica Darling?
Oh, wait, it's Darling with a 'g'...
My mistake...
Never mind...

She got half a million up front as a college freshman to write some sappy romance novels.....amazing.

Viswanathan added, "I wasn't aware of how much I may have internalized Ms. McCafferty's words."
You've got to be joking. I would be too embarrassed to be seen on campus if I were her.

published by Crown, a division of Random HouseSorry to say so, but Random House is getting quite a reputation. They have published a number of "memoirs" which turned out to be quite false, as well.
They are not keeping up standards.
