Jill Biden fit right in with the teachers as she offered commencement remarks at Columbia University's Teachers College last week. No wonder, as she's spent the last 29 years as an educator. But the Secret Service agents guarding the second lady stood out a little more, despite being dressed in academic robes. "Doctoral candidates rarely wear those curling earpiece things," notes one amused onlooker. The Secret Service declined to comment on its "tactics and procedures."

They actually were Phds.....earpieces were to listen to the CNN sports recaps that were on-going during Mrs Bidens speech. Its a sports fan thing regardless of academic standing. Besides we can always read the "hardcopy"on-line.
