...will soon be replaced with a sweeping landscape of the Charles River and Weeks footbridge, an acrylic painting drawn by Leverett’s own Julia E. Rozier ’08. While Rozier’s painting is welcomed by all, this welcome is, of course, preceded by fond reminiscing about the old, less aesthetically pleasing mural. “It looked like part of the opening sequence of a 1980’s sitcom,” James P. Alexander ’10 said. Ritchell R. van Dams ’11, sitting next to Alexander...
...academic theme park,” catering primarily to Cambridge’s heavy tourist industry rather than serving the needs of the Harvard community. Despite their opinions about the state of the Square today, both Lambert and Manning said that the book brought back fond memories of the older days in Harvard Square. That would likely please Lotman: “I guess it’s more of a celebration of Harvard Square than anything else, and that’s what I intended it to be,” he said...

A union representative warned that any attempt to impose compulsory staff cuts would trigger a strike ballot. But the bulk of the evening was devoted to fond reminiscences of past Observer glories and readings from its archive.

There's yet another irony there. "Turks came here to work," says Turan. "We were Gastarbeiter - guest workers. And there...
...agent: “I could see us fishing, or whatever.”With a keen attention to detail, Soderbergh sets a fittingly rich background for Whitacre’s frenetic imagination. His frequent close ups-of black and green screen computers and clunky recording devices serve as fond reminders of early 90s technology. Even Whitacre’s paranoid fantasies are very much a product of his decade; at one point he compares his own situation to that of Tom Cruise in “The Firm,” which opened in 1993. In nearly every scene...
