...this outrageous fanfare. Suddenly, my Cleveland ears can’t listen to “Sweet Caroline,” as I don’t don a Red Sox hat. Not only does Boston have a monopoly over Neil Diamond, but the fans can also be outright scary. After the victory over the pitiable Rockies this past fall, one would think that primal scream had come early...
...America. Familiarity breeds blind comfort, and somewhere along the line, we begin to see our neighbors in the Square as the nameless homeless, instead of people much like ourselves. We cease at last to be sympathetic to their misfortunes or interested in their lives, instead coming to ignore them outright.

But after all the time and emotional energy Max and countless other transfer applicants had invested into their applications, a cash refund is hardly adequate compensation. Lack of space in upper class houses is old news, of which the administration had been aware well in advance of the transfer application deadline. Whatever their prospects of actually gaining admission, transfer candidates deserve an apology from the administration for the mishandling...
