...American Cue Sports convention in addition to Yearly Kos, the "Riv" is a rambling, mirrored box wreathed in antiquated neon with a Las Vegas address but a distinctly Reno ambiance. Inside the conference facility, the faded carpet is nubby with wear, the mirrors that line the halls are dim and pock-marked, and fluorescent lights cast green shadows onto the face of a lonely security guard who sits in a desk chair, eating Doritos...
...however, were not restricted to the University population nor to her term bills. The local barbers upped their prices to $1.50. Unanimously, we labeled this a bad thing, and recommended Central Square. While thus taking a long, but critical view of the local scene, we inclined to take a dim view of the world in general, Although The Crimson’s Executive Board was Republican, its Editorial Board remained largely Democratic. Predicted chaos, however, did not arise in this non-election year. The paper managed to steer a moderate course, somewhat to the left of President Eisenhower, and considerably...

For most of the four-week study, the volunteers were kept on strict 20-hour cycles of sleep and wakefulness. The "forced desynchrony" was intended to throw the body's 24-hour clock out of whack, according to the study's lead author, James Wyatt, while mimicking the off-hour sleep-wake cycle that shift workers and jet-lagged travelers often struggle with. Every "night" of the study...
