- <p> Being a nerd isn't supposed to be fun, but Harvard junior
- Jeremy Kahn may change that. He has founded a campus group
- called SONG (Society of Nerds and Geeks) and has preached the
- gospel of nerdiness in such forums as CBS This Morning and the
- Wall Street Journal. Who might be a patron saint for SONG?
- Perhaps Mikhail Gorbachev, who, Kahn says, is both a nerd
- (studious) and a geek (nonconformist). Math major Kahn's
- "classwork is faltering" because of SONG. Is he in danger of
- becoming that nemesis of all nerds, a BMOC?
