Gato Rojo (translation: “The Red Cat”) looks like an average dorm room, albeit an extremely crowded one. The shelves next to the bar overflows with the castaway books of Rojo regulars, while the multi-colored Christmas lights and potted palms offer a festive, hodgepodge atmosphere. After selecting your beverage of choice, which will be provided in a bowl-sized pastel ceramic cup, you can choose between a private table or a more communal couch seating. The kids behind the counter pick the music—and they have good taste. The sounds run from punk...
It’s a big rivalry, albeit a one-sided one. In 10 years of coaching, Harvard coach Jenny Allard has never seen her softball team beat the University of Massachusetts (16-11). The Crimson (10-12-1) came close in the second game of yesterday’s doubleheader but fell short against the Minutewomen at Soldier’s Field...

He also recognized in Ingres a fellow revolutionary, albeit a more subtle one. Comparing more than 110 paintings and drawings, Picasso Ingres at the Musée National Picasso (March 17-June 21) brings together such works as Ingres' Portrait of Madame Rivière and its almost mirror image in Picasso's Olga in an Armchair. Ingres' masterpiece...
...know? Anyway, this week, I glanced at the cover as I was holding it above the garbage. It read, “10 Simple Keys to a Happy Life.” Well! Maybe this would be worth reading after all! (I figured there was a chance, albeit small, that one of the keys to happiness would be dumping my thesis and joining a hippie commune.) I tore off the plastic and turned to page...
