Last October, when British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his Finance Minister, Alistair Darling, unveiled their emergency intervention to recapitalize U.K. banks, they did so in front of a capacity crowd in the oak-paneled suite of rooms at 10 Downing Street, which are used for the Prime Minister's press briefings. At this morning's sequel performance, when Brown and Darling presented their new emergency plan to try again to get banks lending, journalists were outnumbered by their hosts and attendant staff. In just a few months, the prospect of the government spending billions of pounds of taxpayers' money...
...have a problem with people saving desks at Lamont, you probably run with the crowd that waltzes in mid-afternoon during Reading Period, expecting to find an empty desk all for yourself. I, however, have been holed up in Lamont since last Thursday, trying to finish my junior thesis, retiring to the cushy chairs at night, only to drag myself back to my study spot come sunrise.

A brown bear, a cowboy boot lamp, ceiling canoes, an abundance of wood and a Native American statue, are all part of the rustic theme in this two-barred joint, laden with pool tables, shuffleboards and small tables. While the bar hasn't prepared anything special for inauguration weekend - besides an extended hour deal - they expect a huge crowd, of both regulars and passerbys. If you're seeking out a hearty burger, a stimulating game of darts...
...hobnob on the sparkly, silver floor tiles. Munch on some elevated Southern-style soul food like crab corndogs. The second floor outdoor deck offers a splendid view of the Duke Ellington portrait painted on the brick building right next door. While Indulj typically caters to a more mature crowd, Monday night will feature an inauguration celebration for teens-only, where they can celebrate "like the adults" with virgin drinks...
