...know the paltry offerings Harvard gives us for student social space. There’s the always-deserted Loker Commons, where at 9 p.m. the space houses only the pull-down metal gates covering the signs for A.J.’s Grill and Bok Choy. Of course, Loker is always home to the fun-loving Math Question Help Center, and it can provide a bit of divertissement from hard work—one can always stare at the hypnotic, nonsensical color swirls on the black screen in back...
Hollywood, Fla., is an overlooked burg outshone by Miami on one side and Fort Lauderdale on the other, trying to grab some limelight with a string of sushi and blues restaurants. One such establishment is Shuckums Oyster Pub and Seafood Grill, a music showcase with the requisite life-size shark mounted on an ocean-colored wall.

So Israeli Jews get only pro forma questions like "Who packed your bag?" Foreign Jews get a relatively light going over. Foreign Gentiles get half an hour or so. And Arabs, including Arab citizens of Israel, get a full inquisition...
...every day that a California software engineer gets to grill a gathering of masked Zapatista rebels about their method of trash collection. That an Iowa State professor can draw them out about the "dreams and hopes" of their children. That a New Jersey high-school teacher can query them on how they cope with paramilitary threats, or that a Seattle grant writer can talk to them about women in combat...
