Negotiating the distance between the Hub of the Universe and the Big Apple was never easy. Harvard students who found themselves in a New York state of mind could choose between the cramped Fung Wah Bus and costly Amtrak service, neither of which was very inviting for undergrads desperate to escape the puritanical regime of 2 a.m. bar curfews. Thankfully, JetBlue Airways has come to the rescue with dramatically reduced airfare between Boston and New York: for a bit more than the Fung Wah fare, travelers can fly from Logan Airport to Kennedy Airport in just 70 short minutes...
...slang for cheating at marbles. A day after dining on hickory-grilled rib-eye steak and praline bread pudding with Allen and President George W.

On a Model UN field trip that year, I popped it in, and a bus filled with high-schoolers settled back to recapture their youth. While the theme song remained catchy (They’re the world’s most fearsome fighting team/They’re the heroes on the half-shell and they’re green!), we had a rude awakening soon after: the show was awful. Some other undergrads shared...
...reads Harry Potter, so everyone can relate to the music,” says Kathleen E. McKee ’06, who worked on FOP administration this summer. “They bring Harry Potter to life.” Quirky lyrics such as, “Oh the bus don’t go to Hogwarts, you gots to take the train,” inspired a Facebook group “Voldemort Can’t Stop the Rock,” and prompted the FOP leaders to contact the twosome for a private performance in a Mather...
