If by some tragedy you can't make it tonight, don't give up. There's always room. Just come down to the Crimson before Sunday and leave a note for RDP. Those Spring sports are just around...
...expert cryptanalyst and the Sunday-puzzle expert alike rely on the fact that letters have their own personalities.
