...admit that the 5,000-cubic-inch backpack might be overkill for the ID card and notebook I carry to class. But when 10 Harvard students are hiking through the New England backcountry, we need every bit of that space. So although I cannot take my pack to class unless I plan to camp out in the Science Center, there are other lessons that I—along with 350 other FOP leaders and first-years—did take back from the woods when we returned, smelly and rumpled, to fair Harvard...
Mather HoCo is betting that 10,800 cubic feet worth of foam, blacklights and barbecue grills will combine to produce what Corker describes as Mather’s “second coming—a reawakening, if you will.” HoCo Secretary Darren S. Morris ’05 enthuses, “This event is totally unprecedented in what it will do for campus social life.” Publicity Chair Aditi A.

The 1997 reopening of Teatro Massimo, once one of Europe's premier opera houses, is a shining testament to the city's rebirth. Its fusion of Greek-inspired...
...loans were paid, and Enron (now EOG Resources in Trinidad) started pumping millions of cubic feet of gas through the platform every day. The deal eventually faded from view, until a new chairman arrived at Trinidad's state-owned oil company. Donald Baldeosingh was only 34 when he took the post and was determined to make Petrotrin efficient and profitable. He wondered how the Trintomar venture could have got into such a poor lending deal and asked a London law firm to look into it. The firm retained David Hudson, a retired British merchant banker, who responded with a scathing...
