Still, Harvard is a small, small world. It turns out that the two have met once before, while dining with Manuela L. Zoninsein ’05, Emily’s roommate and Jordan’s FUPpie...
...teeth G.I.s? To ask such questions would be to rain on this parade. It would also be beside the point, which is this: even in the face of doom, potentially only days away from what might be the demise of their city?s favorite son, Tikritis can laugh, sing and put on a show. Nothing special? You tell...
