...holiday-themed CDs includes musical excursions to Africa, Ireland and Latin America; they won't earn you frequent-flyer miles, but you won't have to deal with that knee-crushing idiot who keeps his seat back for the entire six-hour flight to Buenos Aires. World Christmas (Metro Blue) features artists from a number of time zones, including Cape Verdean vocalist Cesaria Evora. There's also a Celtic Christmas II (Windham Hill); A Brasilian Christmas (Astor Place); and Festival of Light (Six Degrees), a CD for Hanukkah with the Dutch band Flairck. Even the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo...

Some Saturday afternoon when you're tired of Ultimate Frisbee, think about exploring the city you'll spend the next four years pretending you live in. If nothing else, it'll make it easier to fake it. And you, yes you a Harvard student, might even...
