...should be clear why I found myself frozen with doubt before the counter at Saigon Sandwich, conveniently located just down Washington Street from the Mass DMV. Luckily, the process of creating a savory lunch is almost foolproof. The friendly folks behind the counter will stuff a seven-inch loaf of French bread with vegetables, cilantro, chili peppers and mayonnaise. These ingredients are irreproachably fresh and attractively arranged to best advantage behind the counter. They cause little doubt.

Meanwhile, the guitar-mashing Vines, energetic Hives and Detroit city rockers the White Stripes were garnering iconic status in the media...
...admit that the 5,000-cubic-inch backpack might be overkill for the ID card and notebook I carry to class. But when 10 Harvard students are hiking through the New England backcountry, we need every bit of that space. So although I cannot take my pack to class unless I plan to camp out in the Science Center, there are other lessons that I—along with 350 other FOP leaders and first-years—did take back from the woods when we returned, smelly and rumpled, to fair Harvard...
