...first commercial, we were all fed up with the fuzzy picture and crackled sound of our seventeen-inch screen. We entered the Straus common room, and found ourselves amongst a large group of first-years. This prime episode had attracted Harvard students from across the yard--by my estimation a larger group than had assembled for both Game 5 of the World Series and the presidential election returns...

Fishing amongst the glossy paper, I would uncover The Crimson only to find its pages likewise filled with these ads; the sports section suddenly seemed like a recruiting forum...
