Common Spaces: Most people go to the dining hall to hang out, but each of Cabot’s six buildings has its own living room. The Junior Common Room, used as the performance space for the annual House musical, is huge. It has a pool table and a huge TV room next door—which is sometimes used for House events, though it's usually empty. The House library is one of the nicest spaces to study, though it is a bit small. There are several comfy chairs in addition to a big table, and although the book...
Quirks: Cabot is the only Quad House that is actually on the Quad itself, so when the weather gets nice, Cabot holds frequent barbecues. The House also holds Senior Common Room dinners two or three times a semester, sometimes with musically inclined Cabot residents performing (recent performers have included cellist Bong Ihn Koh '08 and violinist Ryu Goto '11).

...have Ethan Hawke at his squirrelly, furtive best. While drug busts might scare the badge right off Eddie, Sal treats his excursions into the dens of drug dealers as financial Easter egg hunts, killing without compunction, then riffling around while everyone else is engaged in gunfire in the other room. Sal can shoot without ever missing his mark, he can punch, he's cool. Not movie-star cool the way Washington was in Training Day but an authentic worm, a dirty cop we can both relate to and not lionize. Hawke's reactions and witty asides are pitch perfect...
...balloting and overseas voting, it may take several days to tabulate and announce the results. And since no one of the major coalitions appears to have enough support to form a government, it's likely that the real action won't be at the ballot box, but in back-room wheeling-and-dealing to form a government, which could take weeks.
