...Market is the place to go. Their stock of top-notch cheeses won the Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston award in the cheese category. It’s easy to see why: with tall fridges of softer goat’s milk cheeses against the walls, semi-cooled nests of sheep’s milk cheeses along the aisles and the harder cow’s milk cheeses displayed on the counter, the Whole Foods Market is a veritable cheese museum.

...Luck Club." The longest and best of the book's pieces, "Same Difference" features Simon and Nancy, two dorky twenty-something best friends living in Oakland, California who bicker over pop-culture and local weirdoes. The story follows the two of them as Simon semi-reluctantly drives Nancy to Pacifica in order to spy on Ben, a man who writes obsessive love letters to a woman he thinks lives at Nancy's apartment. If the structure seems a bit amateurish - it has a few too many talky interludes and lucky coincidences - all is forgiven by the deep characterization. Simon...

Clearly being grouped in with Michigan, Maine, Minnesota and New Hampshire is pretty heady company. But while those teams have won national finals, or lost in them, or at least made the semi-finals, Harvard alone has gone winless in three chances. That is what separates those teams from Harvard, postseason victories versus postseason futilities...
