...library. Last October, Lamont began keeping its doors open 24 hours a day, five days a week. UC politicos celebrated Lamont’s 24/5 premiere by throwing a Finale and Felipe’s catered powwow in the library foyer.

But Erdogan risks provoking the ire of hard-line secularists. At a recent secularist demonstration in Ankara, a chanting mob surrounded a woman passing by in a head scarf and ordered her to take it off; she pleaded with the crowd, but eventually removed it.
