...reservations, in the end, boil down to the reluctance administrators feel about limiting housing "rights" to further communal ends. Epps, for example, says a random lottery "would treat every student as if that person had not developed any views or interests; it would tend to assume that people are robots instead of human beings with values and tastes." Under current policy, he says, "You run the risk of having stereotypes and alienation develop. I would run that risk...
...along about springtime, the condo issue heated up. Skillfully brought to a boil by a variety of city developers, notably attorney William Walsh, many tenants turned prospective condo owners began to show up before the city council pleading for exemptions. And, faced with the prospect of the condo ban melting away beneath a flood of special cases, the CCA councilors did what they had to do and upheld the law, most recently about two weeks before the election...

To avoid the impurities of street coke and obtain a greater jolt, more users are resorting to freebasing. After dissolving a substantial quantity of coke in an alkaline (basic) solution, they boil the brew until a whitish lump, or freebase, is left. The lump can be purified further by washing it in a strong solvent. Then it is smoked, often in a water pipe. That way a highly concentrated dose is absorbed into the blood even faster via the lungs than through...
