...spirit of Harvard's venerable tradition of eclecticism that the next House should be fashioned. Combining the appearance of Lamont and the forbidden city of Peking, the new House could perhaps be built as a Bauhaus Pagoda.

...sellers. A dedicated band of cultists, skiers seem oblivious of skiing's built-in hazards. Asks one: "Isn't it worth maybe a broken leg every five years?"

While he was watching, he saw the small, central peak of the crater lose its sharpness and turn reddish. By the time he changed the plate to take the next spectrogram, the peak was white again but much brighter than usual. A third spectrogram showed the crater back to normal...
