Clifford M. Marks ’10 is a Crimson news editor in Pforzheimer House. He spent the first part of his summer pretending to be Frank Bruni...
...because of his paper's stature, New York Times critic Frank Bruni is the one who can really make or break a place like Del Posto.

The unfortunately-named Keren Ann is an Israeli-born French singer/songwriter and her voice has a totally sexy vulnerability reminiscent of her fellow countrywoman Carli Bruni.
