Each review will consist of a series of items that I deem a plus, minus, or neutral. I will grade each experience on a bell curve, accounting for Harvard grade inflation, of course. And, when all is said and done at the end of the four weeks, I'll determine which team deserves my devout faith. Dixon McPhillips '10, a Crimson sports chair, is a visual...
