...need to have them again, and there was so much to talk about that we couldn't have with nonsiblings present, stuff from childhood when our hearts were open, and now we carry it everywhere we go. We were in London, having supper at the pub on the Thames where the gallows once stood where the highwayman Jack Sheppard swung back in the time of George I, and the river reminded us of the Mississippi, and pretty soon my brother was telling how he found a .32cal. pistol in a cornfield behind the house when he was 15 and carried...
...ritual, innit?" is the best any of these Olimpians can come up with, and Daeschner wisely avoids proposing any fancier theories. Instead he joins in, getting his ribs crushed while Swaying the Hood (150-a-side prehistoric rugby), denting shins at Chipping Campden and passing out in a pub toilet having tried to go whisky-for-whisky with the Burryman - who is sewn, head and body, into a suit of prickly burdock burrs so that all the ambient evils of South Queensferry near Edinburgh will stick to him.

Olsson’s—a fixture on Brattle Street for 107 years. Financial troubles led the once popular Wursthaus restaurant to disappear after...
...with Grolier, Harvard itself has a special duty. When a beloved pub closes, it is heart wrenching but divorced from the University’s core mission. Poems, far more than pubs, are central to Harvard’s hopes for the promotion of education and culture. The value of a poem cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Harvard needs poetry—the Square needs poetry—and in this particular case poetry needs Harvard. We strongly encourage Harvard to investigate how to guarantee that Grolier stay afloat. If Harvard...
