...staff photographer for the now defunct Jacksonville Journal, Morabito, then a 27-year veteran of the paper, was driving back to the newsroom in July 1967 after covering a railroad strike when he passed a group of utility workers by the side of the road, shouting about an unconscious, electrocuted co-worker dangling from a pole...
...dreaming of 4-years of HUDS eating, Orgo midterms, or beautiful New England weather. Instead, they're contemplating that ravishingly handsome Harvard boy who will whisk them away into a lifetime of I-Banking (insert financial crisis joke here), supported vacations in Monaco, stylish lofts on the Upper East side, a golden retriever, and 2.4 progeny, Harvard class of 2029. Because, really, where else will there ever be a gathering of so many future millionaires, politicians, lawyers and doctors eager to shed lifetimes of awkward social behavior and just get laid...

Graduate students whip out their dusted hardcovers with the Greek original--and only the Greek original--of Homer, Herodotus, and Plato.

Andreasen says that "both sides will want to avoid the Cold War dynamic of large, permanent delegations gathering in Geneva and facing off across a large table, pencils sharpened."

But the most recent nuclear-arms-control agreement, the 2002 "Moscow Treaty," settled on the more nebulous measure of "operationally deployed warheads" (of which both sides are allowed 2,200). That way of counting, which the Russian government and some American arms-control advocates now oppose, measures only the number of nuclear weapons on the tips of long-range missiles or on bomber bases. Most long-range missiles are capable...
