...that Quincy House has slapped interhouse dining restrictions on its dining hall—by banning first-years at dinner—it might want to place a security guard in front of the groovy neo-disco mood-wall in its dining hall, lest it get stolen by the same hooligans that swiped the Adams House gong last year...

Though Judge Guzman may have been convinced by Pinochet’s lucidity during trial that the General was not as mad as his lawyers claimed he was, yesterday’s Court of Appeals ruling came barely a day after news that Pinochet was even recovering from his illness, and there is little evidence that the court could have known for certain Pinochet’s present capacity...
