...Pioneer Elite VSX-72TXV Receiver (pioneerelectronics.com; $1,200): This mammoth audio-video surround-sound receiver takes all different types of video, from DVDs, VCRs, cable boxes - you name it-and routes them through one wire to your high-definition TV.

...linked to the river Houses and existing centers of undergraduate activity than Cabot, Currier, and Pforzheimer are today. The report mentions several potential locations for the new Houses, including west of North Harvard Street, where College athletic facilities stand today.
