...hopes were compromised. Citing a lack of space for transfer students in upper class Houses, Harvard opted rather to cancel all applications outright and refund the 65-dollar application fee. But after all the time and emotional energy Max and countless other transfer applicants had invested into their applications, a cash refund is hardly adequate compensation. Lack of space in upper class houses is old news, of which the administration had been aware well in advance of the transfer application deadline. Whatever their prospects of actually gaining admission, transfer candidates deserve an apology from the administration for the mishandling...
...43rd. But when he retired from the plant, Grandpop got a job working at the election commission down at City Hall. In his mind, it was a due reward for his years of service to the party, payment for his loyalty; it was a reminder, too, of those countless days in the 1930s when he was unemployed and walked each morning the 12 miles (20 km) down Broad Street to City Hall in hopes of getting work.

I was once asked at an admissions information session whether I was surprised or excited to have gotten in to Harvard. I had never thought about it before as a public question. Regardless...
...playing cards to a dark, flashy casino club, the film is highly stylized and polished. It contains the requisite shots of Ben staring in wonder out the window of a limousine at the gleaming Las Vegas landscape—an unimaginative sequence that’s been repeated in countless other films. But it also features slick camera work that displays the blackjack game from Ben’s point of view and illustrates the nuances of the game to the uninitiated. The gaudy, dark casinos and dance clubs contrast with the bright, cozy images of Ben?...
