...with that phrase, the Malkin Athletic Center was transformed into a rowdy elementary school gym, ready to play host to the second-ever Harvard Dodgeball Tournament. Light-hearted invective and lewd witticisms flew across the basketball court with as much charge as the seven-inch rubber-covered foam Nerf balls. Tempers rose and egos clashed—but for the second year in a row, athletic prowess and strategy won the day for Dunster House. The tournament, well on its way to becoming a beloved Harvard tradition, offered the chance for each upperclass House, as well as University Hall...
...terminal is the country?s fifth largest, no serious disruption to gasoline supplies is expected as emergency plans to draw from other depots kick in. Fire chiefs said they had extinguished a fire at a nearby warehouse caused by the explosion, but were waiting to assemble enough equipment and foam from nearby districts before tackling the main blaze-which may not be controllable until it burns itself out. They do not expect the blaze to spread beyond the depot; the main danger to people in the area comes from the vast amounts of smoke being generated...

Unfortunately, Adri, 43, closes shop for half the year (to run food experiments in his lab) and can honor just 8,000 of the 100,000 table requests he gets annually...
...window blinds. The wait staff is all business (as is most of the clientele). The food, accelerating in flavor and intensity through a meal, seems conjured in Adri's lab: breaded fois custard cream with apricot jam, baked skate with clam aioli, smoked beef with "ancient mustard" foam. In cooking as in science, not all lab experiments succeed: an unappealing appetizer of Iberian porkpie with truffled duck liver consisted mostly of morsels of fat. But considering the rich and varied fare dished out, the fact that we didn't feel bloated at the end of this meal counts...
