...Deanna Dong ’08 of Quincy House, found her 35-inch television in a storage room in the basement of Old Quincy at 2 p.m. last Thursday. When she returned to the room 90 minutes later with friends to lug it to her dorm in New Quincy, the television had vanished, Dong said...
...finest. The Swiss won 5-2, which might not suggest that the best-of-nine series was all that close. In fact, it was exceptionally so, and its twists and tensions occurred at a time when the oldest event in sport was crying out for a ding-dong contest.
