Just about the only part of the above statement that turned out to be true was the very last part. To my shock, what I found was a crowded space the size of my parent’s living room, an interesting mix of fashion styles that one might find acceptable only if it were Halloween (it was September), and people moving their bodies around in a way that I think was supposed to be “dancing” (although my transfer friends and I stood in the middle of the floor with our mouths hanging open...
...team kicks off an 11-day, six-game stretch in Boston with weekend contests against No. 3 Cornell and No. 17 Colgate, and to match the perpetual ECAC powers, the Crimson (2-1-0, 2-1-0) must sift through its first three games—through a sporadic mix of precision and sloppiness, of pinpoint execution and absolute inability to convert. En route to its early record, Harvard outskated Dartmouth 5-2, outfought Princeton 2-1 and just plain could not execute against Quinnipiac in a 5-2 loss. Tomorrow against...

"People mix it up with the police every day around here," says Spion, 19, who is of Moroccan origin. But this is different, says his friend Benou, whose parents came from Algeria. "This is May 1968--but in the banlieues...
...remote. What we do have is a supermarket, a mall for low-cost shops, a few fast-food joints and maybe a movie complex. That's it. The idea is to create just enough diversion so we stay where we are. The message is, Don't come in to mix with the people in the city centers. That's what the police tell you when they stop you on a bus coming into town: "You have no business in the center? Then you have no reason to be there. Go back where you belong...
