...those corny mayoral wagers are back in 2003. If the Giants win the World Series, Anaheim mayor Tom Daly promises to host a Bay Area family for a weekend ("Wow, mom, can we really go visit the city whose team just broke my heart?!")

...liberally employed to describe the College’s immediate surroundings. Others terms, namely “bastion of affordable and individual restaurants,” are not so carelessly flung about. Truth be told, the Square caters more to high-powered national chains than it does mom-and-pop joints. The few quality offerings grow more than stale by the time your first year comes to a close. After all, there’s a limit to how many wraps and servings of pad thai one person can consume. Luckily, the greater Cambridge and Somerville area (accessible by foot...
