...second money gets into it, the sport is ruined. Right now, there's a certain sense of amateurism and purity to the sport. I was crewing for ultra-runner Jen Shelton during one race, and she was gunning to win, but she ate a jalapeño pizza and pitcher of beer five hours before the start, so at mile 40, she blew up and was retching on the course. When she lifted her head up, she realized that two of the guys she had been competing with were standing there waiting for her. She was 40 miles...
...heard this story from a senior who graduated a couple of years back. He was talking to me about how it was before, in the time of no time.

Nasheed says that the problem has less to do with the country's law-enforcement capabilities and more with endemic corruption: "People in all sorts...
Thinking back to the hordes of prefrosh that were just on campus, gorging themselves at countless ice cream socials and pizza parties—all on the College’s tab—you’re probably wondering how Harvard can afford to dish out all those goodies while depriving its actual undergraduate population of arguably the most important meal of the day. And why is it that we can afford to keep the HUDS worker whose job consists of standing by the back door of Annenberg to prevent students from surreptitiously making off with dishware, while...
