La Jolla Country Day
The La Jolla Country Day School is highly selective. Louise C. Balmer established it as the Balmer School in 1926. The student-founded political paper known as the Torrey Review, a name derived from the school’s mascot, Torrey pines, and the conservative paper, the National Review, are both funded by the school. In spite of the designations, the papers’ writers stand for a range of political viewpoints, as quite a few liberals, Greens and Objectivists as well as conservatives comprise the staff of both papers.

Studevent was lying feebly in a bed at Children’s Hospital after surviving a terrible car accident a little more than four years ago. Her face was distended and her chest was black-and-blue.
