...would go out with the rules. Because an all female Radcliffe--corridor doors promising no more than someone in curlers and bathroom slippers hunched under a hairdryer, or exam hysteria when girls lined the walls clut-ching their notes to their breasts like death row diariers--because a lime, peach, and chocolate flavored Radcliffe was Hell...
