Tania Head told her story of survival again and again, quietly and memorably, so that the atrocities of 9/11 would not be forgotten. She told it to me in the summer of 2004, over coffee in Times Square. Head was on the 78th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center when a plane struck the building, she said.

We were all stuck outside in the longest line the new Garden has ever seen, buoyed by the possibility of MVP candidates and a playoff run.Never in my lifetime...
...officially designated as a party suite, Senior House in the past has been known to host ridiculous ragers. These new residents are happy to oblige, saying they will host for everyone “including freshmen.” The house’s common room on the ground floor, which was decorated with help from Claverly security guard Pearl, faces the alley between Linden St. and Holyoke St. Security can be an issue as the house does not have swipe access, only key access.
