...market with its new products, while Nike usually informs retailers of its plans six months in advance. In this case, Nike acquiesced to the Apple way, putting Nike Plus on sale just 50 days after announcing it. The project carried code names: Nike, the goddess of victory in Greek mythology, was Victoria North, and Apple was Victoria South...
...funds with which it is entrusted, Pilbeam administered a decanal snowjob to the Party Fund. Fun at Harvard began in the eighteenth century, after Increase Mather left for New Haven. It enjoyed its heyday in the nineteenth century, when undergraduates engaged in activities like literary discussions, the founding of Greek letter fraternities, manifest destiny, musical theater, and binge drinking.

...Despite what is typically an extremely painful problem, he was pleasant, talkative and charming. His interests lay in the history of his native Sparta and in the making, extolling and drinking of large amounts of the well-known (and in my limited experience, best-avoided) pine-resin-laced traditional Greek wine retsina. Trained by decades of exposure to the resinous brew, Nick's brain and liver now presented us with an unusual difficulty: they had become so good at detoxifying his system that it was nearly impossible to sedate...
