...soldiers included—do not want the world to stop even if they are in action. The old proverb “baseball, mom and apple pie” still applies. Sports are integral to the American spirit—we root for the underdog just as we crave the “rags to riches” life. We love the camaraderie of being a part of something larger than ourselves, of cheering with thousands of others, of feeling the competitive spirit...

But the latest of late-night establishments closes by 2 a.m. When it was decided post-renovations that the Tasty would not return, a 1999 Crimson Staff editorial feared that only the Tasty could “satisfy those 4 a.m. hunger pangs with cooked food (unless you count microwaved burritos from Store 24).” Now, even Store 24 is gone...
