...swift as ballistic missiles, as are the curt phrases that punctuate them. Later, I will hear the story of the 1984 Northwestern Tournament from the man who won it, Jonathan B. Wiener ’84. The other team spoke at length about Cuban refugees intercepted by US patrol boats. Wiener and his partner parried with their own counter-plan, but its significance eluded their opponents. “I guess you missed the boat,” the Harvard team quipped. The audience collapsed in hysterics.

...According to Jade C. Gardner, a Memorial Hall staff member, the building is alarmed and under constant patrol surveillance. “Security does patrol this area during the day and during the night,” she says. Like the others, she cites the direct line to HUPD as a security asset. “We call them, they come right away,” she says. Still, Annenberg is filled with sculptures and paintings but appears to lack high-security doors; Gardner was also unsure as to whether or not the security guards were armed...
