An Article appeared in Vanity Fair a few years ago on some sort of a
boy's school for troubled teens.  I believe that it was for older
teens.  My memory tells me that it was not directed towards severly
troubled teens but more towards teen boys who were in with the wrong
crowds socially doing drugs and about to fall over the edge.

Can you find the name of this school and/or refer me to the specific
Vanity Fair Issue?  This may be harder than you think.  Thanx for any
help.

Although a co-ed school, could you perhaps be thinking of the Academy
at Swift River?

Looking forward to hearing your views.

Hi Rainbow - I found that one, in fact - I spoke to the man who
actually went there to live for a while - while he wrote about it. 
There was another all-boy/teen school.  I really tried to find it but
all I could locate was the one you found.

Schmooz, 

I can't resist explaining to you that story with the "failure = Bush".
It has nothing to do with Google the company, and you shouldn't
address your question to them.

The Google search engine works in a certain way, in which links to a
certain site are calculated to see how "important" it is.

Some people, regular Internet users like you and me, have (ab)used
this thing: they discovered, that if enough sites link a certain term
to a certain site, a search for this certain term would bring up that
site, even if this search term doesn't appear on that site and has
nothing to do with it. They link mostly from blogs, because it is
pretty easy medium to exploit for that mean.

If you link the term "great Research" many times to the site "Google
Answers" (http://answers.google.com), from many powerful sites, it
might appear as the first result for the search for the term "great
Research". [maybe we should start such a campaign...].

This phenomenon is called "Google Bombing" (they "bomb" Google with
this linkage) - you can read more about it on Wikipedia:
