Driven by the seemingly endless American fascination with real estate and the continual thirst for affordable, less developed seaside views, island dwelling has become practicable and increasingly popular. Many islands that were once considered uninhabitable wildernesses have become desirable properties. Over the past 10 years, a growing number of people have been snapping them up in the U.S., paying anywhere from $200,000 to $5 million, depending on size and location. Typically, prices run about 20% cheaper per acre than traditional waterfront properties in the same locale--a discount reflecting the extra hassle it takes...
...Compare that to posters, which not only require a paid employee to clear away, but more often than not leave ugly traces of tape, shreds of paper, and endless staples piled upon Wigglesworth archway corkboards.

Indeed, he, Picabia and Ray shared a talent for cerebral sloth. They all thought up endless word games that boil down to jokes about sex. This too was art. The Tate Modern exhibition is dense with doodles and scraps full of dark joie de vivre...
It’s that time of year. You’re trudging through the Yard, avoiding obnoxious tourists and endless sludge piles when suddenly it hits you: Spring Break is still 3 weeks away, your classes are nowhere as interesting as they seemed during Shopping Period, and you got stuck in yet another class with “section guy.” Well, don’t apply to take time off just yet. Cut out the Harvard Survival Guide Drinking Game, buy yourself a nice big hip flask, and start playing. 1.) Someone says...
