I've been enjoying the Doonesbury strip when it features the 17-year-old Alex(andra) Doonesbury in her freshman year at MIT, as it does this week, starting with Monday. (See < www.ucomics.com/doonesbury >. Best to read strips in sequence; to do this click on "Yesterday" as soon as it appears and enter your "birth year" and "gender" when asked, then step back to Monday.) This week Alex and a classmate enter a Best Homemade Robot contest. --Dan
