COLLEGE KIDS PLAY HOMELESS

Seven college students from Kansas trek to the nation's capital during their spring break and spend part of their two-day "Urban Plunge," sponsored by the National Coalition for the Homeless, "surviving" on the mean streets of Washington, D.C.

Michelle Cottle, writing about the venture for TNR Online, says, "The absurdity of the entire exercise made me want to cry."

That's odd . . . we wanted to laugh. Cottle's hilarious send-up guaranteed we would.
