Once upon a time, a freshman friend of ours had a problem. Here he was at Harvard away from his parents for the first time. The alcohol possibilities were endless. No more furtive sips of mommy's martini or daddy's daiquiri. At last a beer he could call...
...architects, Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, spread the new buildings out. Planes and walls jag fetchingly, as in real cities. Rounding a corner or descending a stair, / there are architectural surprises.

How else to appreciate the richness of the coffee mocha, the tang of the pińa colada, the bouquet of the strawberry daiquiri?
