House Spirit: The only House with a toast, Eliot boasts a tight-knit community that is active and vibrant. The mighty mastodon is the House mascot, and it appears in six hidden locations around the House. The Eliot House Committee constantly plans House-wide events from Charles Eliot Day to the Date Auction. Moreover, stein clubs have become themed with a release of a publicity video preceding the weekly event. To keep away unwanted dinner guests, impromptu pantless dinners take place, building House solidarity and leading...
...ably satisfying the wishes of the auto industry - by encouraging southeastern Michigan's reliance on this single, lumbering mastodon - Dingell has in fact played a signal role in destroying Detroit. He was hardly alone; if you wanted to get elected in southeastern Michigan, you had to support the party line dictated by the Big Four - GM, Ford, Chrysler and their co-conspirator the United Auto Workers.

...covers with a band called The Honeydrippers brought him some commercial success, but little creative joy. In the mid-'90s, he reunited with Page. The duo's live shows frequently revisited Zeppelin's Valhalla heights, but their formulaic studio album, 1998's Walking Into Clarksdale, lumbered along like a mastodon. "We were always dogged by the past," admits Plant. "It's better like this, apart. It gives me more space to breathe." For Plant, divorce has finally paid off. Using a group of seasoned session musicians called The Strange Sensation, Plant has crafted an album that nods at Led Zeppelin...
