Alleged 'NYT' Reporter Booted From Princeton

Last Friday, a "middle-aged woman" carrying a camera infiltrated Princeton University for what she claimed was an article for the New York Times on Princeton's famed eating clubs (like the super-WASPy Ivy, pictured at right), which go through a wonderfully snobby "bicker" process to determine who should be let in. Unfortunately for this "reporter," she was not only kicked off campus, but the Times Education Life editor Jane Karr denied sending anyone there on assignment. Curious! But we're thinking Karr might be, you know, lying.
