Shanghai is lauded as China's most sophisticated destination. Beijing is painted with a less glamorous brush. One is a booming metropolis where fashionistas sip mint juleps while overlooking the Bund.[an error occurred while processing this directive] The other is a gritty city where malcontent punks swig beer in spit-and-sawdust dives. Or so we're led to believe. But with the 2008 Olympic Games less than two years away, Beijing is undergoing a maniacal makeover - nowhere more brazen than in the city's wining-and-dining scene. With its army of foreign Mandarin students, Beijing has traditionally...

The North Yarmouth Academy tent proudly displayed an assortment of M&M’s and Tootsie Roll Pops amid a seasonal arrangement of pumpkins. Its neighbor, Berwick Academy, had a less impressive spread: a basket of apples and unopened jugs...
It’s 40 degrees outside, and your ice-cold beer can is stuck to the hand you can no longer feel. You’re not sure you can wait in that porta-potty line again, so you sneak behind a UHaul. The music is blaring, the hot chocolate is spiked, you’re surrounded by all of your best friends, and, most importantly, Harvard is crushing Yale. Harvard-Yale weekend is one of the only times when College students get together in one place and let it all hang out. Traditionally, the Ohiri Field debauch-fest...
