...Dunster E Entryway. There, a group of eight sipped champagne and celebrated victory. The scene was one of sublime Schadenfreude Tuesday night, as Radcliffe Union of Students Co-Chair Dara F. Goodman ’07 and friends toasted the announcement of Summers’ resignation. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

If Tasmania's Les Blakebrough is the father of Australian pottery, then Ipswich, Queensland-based Hanssen Pigott, who practices a form of Buddhism, is its mother superior.
