...Beamer” R. Eisele ’08, a student manager at the pub. At the presentation, Jaime C. Schier, representative from Boston-based Harpoon Brewery, enlightened students about the origins of beer, and its importance to historical—not just college—culture. Diana L. Link ’08, a student who attended the 1.5-hour lesson, “enjoyed the specifics he went into.” Students had a chance to take a hands-on approach, by chewing malted barley seeds in their mouths to begin a chemical reaction used...
...Actually, I think Princess Diana probably had the most famous haircut, or Farah Fawcett or Jennifer Aniston. It was very strange because I always had short hair and I always hated my short hair. So I was always trying to find a new style. I would look at magazines and try to find something that I thought was somewhat attractive that I could skate with.

The jurors were then driven by bus down the long, straight expressway that eventually dips...

"We know what caused her death: it's been catalogued in minute detail by investigators in both countries," says one slightly disgusted French justice official when asked about this week's visit to Paris by the jurors. "Case closed - move on." He goes on: "The official logic is by giving them the visual framework and time-span they all fit into, [the jurors...
