...That’s not to say that nobody’s getting anybody. Quite the contrary. Walk around Cambridge on a Friday night and you’ll bear witness to the raw, carnal savagery of America’s future presidents and CEOs. Toes curl inside leather loafers. Expensive accessories disappear beneath Harvard’s extra-long twin beds. And pastel polo t-shirts lose their former crispness as young scholars embrace. If only these neo-Georgian dorm-room walls could talk...
...Costumes and fabulous thematic partying materials: Harvard students are too creative to party like normal people. At celebrations with names like Heaven and Hell, Sweet n’ Nasty, Leather and Lace, and with themes ranging from Eurotrash to Gatsby, you’ll want to reinvent yourself as often as Madonna. Stop by Oona’s on Mass. Ave. for an exotic hodgepodge...
Sitting in a gilded chair upholstered in white leather, al-Bashir didn't appear worried. The former paratrooper came to power as part of a 1989 military coup that introduced a strict Islamic legal code to Sudan.

Rents plummeted...
...easy to see why lawmakers might become accustomed to flying on the 89th's jets with their first-class leather seats, workstations and galleys, and on which military personnel whip up their meals, carry their bags and fix their favorite drinks. And they can stretch out - those 737-sized C-40s can fly with as few as five lawmakers aboard (they carry up to 149 passengers for Southwest). Lawmakers are also permitted to take their spouses along, for free. Folks get used to such niceties after a while, and that might have played a role in the push...
