...bloggers and the reporters who love them - the Riviera has become a three-day oasis of earnest activism amidst a landscape of sin. Not that the Riviera holds much temptation itself. Concurrently hosting the American Cue Sports convention in addition to Yearly Kos, the "Riv" is a rambling, mirrored box wreathed in antiquated neon with a Las Vegas address but a distinctly Reno ambiance. Inside the conference facility, the faded carpet is nubby with wear, the mirrors that line the halls are dim and pock-marked, and fluorescent lights cast green shadows onto the face of a lonely security guard...
...needed to stimulate by brain was some bizarre banana enterprise. But at Harvard, we don’t just play with our food. We do it critically, applying whatever excess brain power our tutorials leave us to determine the best way to smear rancid fruit onto a box...

And one local teenager set fire to Harvard Stadium in the closing days of the ’81 school year.Most of the stadium’s massive concrete amphitheater was left unharmed, but the arsonist found easy kindling in the wooden press box. The ancient structure had played home to decades of reporters and commentators, and it has hosted such diverse events as Harvard football games, Olympic soccer matches, and a Bob Marley concert. The aging 46-year-old press box provided almost no resistance to the encroaching flames. High winds made...
