...That's why you read a book like this. There might be your requisite trendoids, your sprinkle of window dresser aspirants, your misguided cultural studies concentrator who wants to derive a thesis on window displays, but the real readers-and lovers-of this book will be your drab, gray non-aesthete nobodies of life.

Harvard has labored through a difficult and trying non-conference season, but it now has a chance for redemption. The Crimson's pursuit of a fourth consecutive Ivy championship did not start in November; it begins tonight. And the only way Harvard knows how to ring in the Ivy season is with two victories...
