During my time here at Harvard, I have entered the thunderdome with the best of them. When I went to Yale my junior year, for example, it was also the weekend of my 21st birthday. As soon as I stepped foot off the bus on Friday night until getting back on said bus Saturday eve, I was never a sober boy. In the process, I urinated (twice) on the statue of Eli, broke a bathroom stall door, stole a Yalie’s hat and rubbed it on my butt, and repeatedly yelled, “I am the destroyer...

"Kids force you into a normalcy," she says, "that, you know, it even trumps this [place] in some ways...
...Sarkozy has also proposed luring younger people to newspapers by offering to pay for home delivery of any title of their choice for one day a week during the year of their 18th birthday. Since such schemes aren't likely to do the trick for French papers, it makes sense for publishers to search for ways to eliminate costs before they occur. After all, the free handout dailies - another source of woe for traditional papers - long ago stopped publishing during year-end holidays and summer vacations, when readership volume dropped...
