After four years of arduous study, Princeton '07 graduates are proving the worth of their degrees--and the strength of their contacts in publishing. First it was Joyce Carol Oates' protege in New York Magazine, and now, in nearly as bold a move, recent graduate Monica Wojcik appears in the latest issue of The New Yorker for eating bees (well, kinda).

Because The New Yorker is too stingy to offer this choice selection on its web site, a quote will have to suffice. On page 90 of the 2007 food issue: "Monica Wijcik, an '07 Princeton graduate who, in her senior year, ran the Boston Marathon...once gave me a drink of bee spit....She called it bee spit but it was actually synthetic hornet juice....Liquid essence of Vespa mandarinia japonica." Delicious. 

Note the references to Princeton and the amazing achievements. Needless to say, the piece is written by Princeton graduate John McPhee '53.
