...Loth ’09, who was handing out kits in Dunster’s dining hall yesterday. “People don’t tend to bundle up adequately.” The plastic bag kits, which were assembled with funding from the University Health Services (UHS), contain a variety of items, including hand sanitizer, tissues, packets of tea, salt for gargling, and a disposable thermometer. The packets also include flyers with cold and flu remedies and prevention techniques, such as placing a bowl of hot water in front of dorm room heaters to raise the humidity...
...Biggest Mouths. Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern, whose combined 40 hours a week of taunting talk, schoolyard humor and bracing political incorrectness made radio the year's hot -- and hot air -- medium.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the new political star in Moscow, believes Russia should include the striped sections of the top map below (note the desired piece of land in the northeast corner). Radical Palestinians envision a Palestinian state with the pre-1947 British Mandate borders as reflected in the map below and to the left. And Serbs hope to create a Greater Serbia that would encompass the striped portions of the map below...
...Heterosexual, but available only to Victoria Beckham)The Academic Metrosexual: This genus is also a common type, normally personified by grad students in the English Department. These men sometimes wear oxford shirts, which can be paired with sweaters and/or dark wash jeans. Their bags, which probably contain Rimbaud and Jack Daniels, are strikingly large and resemble overgrown purses. Sometimes Academic Metrosexuals don’t shave and often their hair is slightly too asymmetrical or long to be fashionable. They get a big bang out of drinking Peet’s Coffee because the cups (and, one might argue...
