...Mammoth common room with 10 singles adjoining. This year six Quincy House transfers round out the group, and the four who don’t live in the Ten Man are in a conveniently connecting suite...
...maybe this peculiar mix shares my own vivid nightmares of this deregulation disaster. Imagine this horrific vision.

Since December, three mammoth, glitzy malls have opened their doors there, crammed with a collection of stores airlifted straight from America's suburbs?Nike, Benetton, Pizza Hut, Subway sandwiches, even a showroom for Bose audio systems.
