...that torture becomes unbearable, they can always transfer to Mather or Currier—Houses whose sense of “community” is rarely compromised by wandering riff-raff. HUDS can better use its resources by shifting staff and—if necessary—transferring dishes between Houses to accommodate changing student eating habits. But another crucial step would be to open an alternative to fly-by in a central location, such as the Holyoke Center. This eating establishment would alleviate the rush on Adams and offer stranded quadlings (and Dunsterites) convenient food...

"Did not that sacrifice alone expunge all the Empire's other sins?" he asks. Evidently he expects a yes. Ferguson's rendition of the Rule Britannia riff is sure to rouse a few roars from the old lions. When, last November, Britain's Foreign Secretary Jack Straw mildly ventured that "a lot of the problems that we are having to deal with now are a consequence of our colonial past," right-wing commentators and historians lined...
