...conserve, showerheads will be removed and students will receive an Evian bottle for daily showering. In most respects, this sucks. But hey, it’s Evian. 12) Grey Goose at Stein Clubs...oh wait. Scratch that—thanks, Pilbeam. 13) Harvard will purchase a Caribbean island. It will serve as the Ad Board’s Guantanamo Bay. 14) Svens for everyone.

What's worse than a city with no humans? One with too many, in Heston's last big s-f parable, the 1973 Soylent Green. Spinning off the doomsday population predictions of Paul Ehrlich, the movie imagined New York 50 years hence, with 40 million people crushed on the island, half of them out of work.

Indeed, the quaint face that Amendolara, like much of Italy, puts on for visitors often hides the nation's great plague: wasted...
From Ithaca, N.Y. to Kingston, R.I., the rain follows the Crimson wherever it goes. For the third time this week, Harvard softball was benched due to inclement weather. Harvard was scheduled to travel to Rhode Island this afternoon for a two-game meeting with the Rams but rain forced the match-up to be canceled. Bad weather is not new though for the Crimson. The Ivy season opener, which was supposed to be played last Saturday, was originally postponed for Monday. Continued bad weather forced the Big Red to further postpone the games—the teams will finally face...
