...front door to the White House,” according to the administration’s Web site, something for which her undergraduates provided early preparation. In addition to serving as HoCo chair, Tchen, a sociology concentrator, was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and edited the Arts section of The Harvard Independent. She also pursued her passion for politics as a “gopher” at the Institute of Politics. Though Tchen maintained a busy extracurricular schedule, she did not let it interfere with her social life, according to her blockmate Deborah A. Graham...

But while our silver-section admission granted us a closer view than millions of Obama fans teeming on the National Mall, we were still in the most plebeian of ticketed areas. If we wanted the best possible spot, we were going to have to battle with 140,000 other early risers. And unbeknownst to us, we were also going to have to tolerate appalling police incompetence.
