...Harry Lewis would have thought of the Harvard Carnival. Nor do I care. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and almost everyone else I’ve spoken to agrees. Sure, it wasn’t a giant kegger, and sure, the line was too long for me to ride bumper cars. But whether it was “matriarchal coercion” or genuine interest, awkward and nerdy Harvard students came together in numbers that we only see once or twice a year to hang out with their friends, and, God forbid, enjoy themselves.

The problem, he told a government panel in a hotel ballroom in Casper, is that the rush to drill in Wyoming is swiping the land right out from under its people...
