A women entering the Bow and Arrow opened her wallet to the bouncer to show a University of Connecticut photo ID--complete with birthdate--next to a current Harvard ID. At the Cask and Flagon, a woman presented an ID with a 1966 birthday, realized her mistake, and quickly showed her sister's ID with the proper...
