When the Jumbos—a 15-dollar cab ride away (or, in non-Harvard terms, two stops up the Red Line)—found out about FM’s trip to Somerville on Valentine’s Day, they took the opportunity to show their fellow elite New England private school plenty of Internet love. Below, the warmest of the warm from the comments on The Crimson Web site...

By the 1990s, they found themselves facing each other across a post-Cold War battle line as Pakistan built up the Afghan Taliban, whose Sunni puritanism grated against Iran's state Shi'ism. Following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, Islamabad allowed the U.S. the use of two military bases in Pakistani Baluchistan for counterterror operations.
