...comparatively) most delectable food on campus due to simply having fewer mouths to feed. Pfoho's bright linoleum palace is home to the only two-tiered dining hall on campus. The lower level is more social, and tables are often combined for a large group dining experience, while the quieter upper level is perfect for homework, intimate conversation, and avoiding people—a sometimes impossible task in the community-oriented Pfoho. The hilariously awkward Lover's Balcony protrudes over the rest of the dining hall and provides one of the most romantic yet voyeuristic dining experiences on campus...
...compete against Boeing and Airbus. These are the planes that can seat five people across, or about 130 passengers. These airplanes exist, but they are getting old. We are going to offer a unique product that consumes 20% less fuel, has 15% better operating costs and is 50% quieter than what is offered today.

Despite Moore’s unusual approach to creating characters, the most rewarding moments of “A Gate at the Stairs” come when Tassie is alone, reading and cooking and playing her bass in an apartment that feels too big. These quieter, pensive moments are lovely in their understatement and their insinuation of a profound loneliness that hangs over Tassie and Troy but is never directly acknowledged...
