...building style looks like University of Southern California,” said Amy Chien, a graduate student at USC. She felt the H-bomb impact, making sure to snap pictures that people back home would recognize as uniquely Crimson. During her visit, Chien insisted on taking a picture of this reporter (a real Harvard student!) in front of John Harvard.
