...become a favorite pasttime among students, but perhaps men have a reason for avoiding entanglement in "the pursuit." Responding to innocent flirtation or going after those who play hard to get may take a turn for the worse. Those "Rape Happens at Harvard" pins are pretty intimidating, and "caution" is definitely a new term in the dating phenomena. Fear of rejection is another hindrance in anyone's plan--maybe the object of your affection smiled at you today in the Yard, but more likely he or she was smiling at the person behind you.

So if you feel as though you've had a cold all winter long, have your doctor run a few allergy tests to see if you need something more than chicken soup...
...caution here is one that applies to utopian visions generally: perfect is always imperfect, as it must be, and imperfect--a world of disappointments and surprises--is as good as it gets. It is hard to know whether McDonough recognizes this. He is in the first blush of success, where he wants everything to be right and believes it is possible. He asks, "Why should it ever be necessary to tear the Gap complex down?" and thinks that the question is rhetorical...
