...entailing a call to an 800 number. A pound of wheat would be a pound of wheat*--meaning that it would neither weigh a pound nor be composed of grain without the purchase of a 12-month contract.

I have a Pizza Ring coupon and a dresser drawer full of change. The Senior Gift is Harvard saying, "How much change you got?" So you can see why so many seniors are complaining: we've got almost nothing, but the world's richest university still wants some of it. The Senior Gift is like Mr. Universe trying to eat your grandmother's vitamins. It's like a food drive...
