...drumming in relatively oblivious repose - but Joe is the teen meat. All eyes, hearts and prepubescent yearnings focus on him, and he gives it back, pleased to be watched, in true exhibitionist showmanship. A few songs into the set, he removes his jacket to reveal a sleeveless chartreuse T shirt and a golden physique, not over-muscled but taut and downy. (Look, I'm paid to observe these things.)

Now that red and yellow are out, Thailand may again be turning pink...
...Pertile, in an e-mail circulated throughout the House, explained that he personally did not find the shirt design offensive but understood how many could and especially was worried that it might put off some of the incoming freshmen. Such prudence, indeed, eluded many in the Eliot House community for days—some of whom, as members of minority cultural groups, expectedly would have been more sympathetic to how certain stereotypes can offend...
