...more unusual wares, like bras and even a long ballroom gown. Some attendees were impressed with the quality of the available merchandise, much of it bearing brand names such as Chinese Laundry, J. Crew, and American Eagle. “I found a pair of Hollister capris that fit me perfectly that would be upwards of $100 in the store,” Anne E. P. Stone ’10 said. The main organizer of this year’s event, Gena M. Haugen ’09, said the brunch was open only to the Harvard community...
...shortfall, it needs to be constantly seeking ways to cut the budget while preserving vital programs. At a point when core academic facets such as faculty hiring are being sacrificed, it seems reasonable to limit features more tangential to the academic experience. Indoor athletic facilities during the summer certainly fit this description. The ready availability of Stairmasters and treadmills was undoubtedly not the first thing on students’ minds when they decided to come to Harvard.

"All modern cities have a metro system," said presidential frontrunner Ricardo Martinelli, during a recent speech to the city's top business...
...mention two supergroups of this decade, Audioslave euthanized the fury and passion of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine into dull, MOR post-grunge, while Velvet Revolver strengthened the case for a mandatory retirement age for heavy metal musicians. On the evidence of this eponymous debut album, Tinted Windows fits the bill of the 21st century supergroup, not its 1970s counterpart.The first rule of the 21st century supergroup is that it is less than the sum of its parts. To be fair to Tinted Windows, its parts are pretty impressive. Perhaps the biggest tribute to James Iha?...
