Quad houses are also kept spotlessly clean, and the recreation areas are incomparably more comfortable and better equipped than those of the river houses. And yes, there is red brick here: Cabot and Pforzheimer have something of the old Harvard charm on the outside, with the added plus of an interior chockfull of modern amenities. No, there's no river view, but there is the Quadrangle itself, an inviting stretch of lawn that's great for field sports, especially Ultimate Frisbee...

Powers writes: "Recently...the meaning of the power ballad has changed as the age of heroes gives way to more conflicted protagonists." But these mid-'90s songs do not belong in the same category as the ballads of the turn-of-the-decade. In content, they are too angst-ridden...
