...like the U.S., Britain and China, had launched intense diplomacy to dissuade Pakistan from retaliatory tests. By last Tuesday, a CIA satellite overhead had observed trucks moving away from the Chagai site and concrete being poured to seal the underground test chamber. Calculating the time it would take the cement to harden so nuclear fallout wouldn't escape, the CIA predicted that the blast could occur by early Thursday...
Seniors are still trying to do it all. During these past few weeks, our overachieving Harvard mentality has prevented us from leaving stones unturned, chores unfinished and goals unfulfilled. Students are "bumping into" potential senators in "random" places, eager to cement "lasting friendships." Shopping carts filled with food from the Kahiki Cafe zoom out of Loker as the last cents of Crimson Cash disappear. The Widener stacks reek of bodily fluids. Several sorry individuals are still trying out for Crimson Key. And John Harvard is more pissed than usual...

If not for the periodic rumble of the T massaging the feet of restaurant patrons, one could easily forget the cement jungle outside of the door. The interior is romantic and tasteful; even the walls are appetising, liberally dosed with colorful still-lifes of ripened fruit. A giant convex mirror reflects all of the patrons in distorted miniature, spotlit from above by track-lighting...
