ABOUT A TRATTORIA Basta Pasta Trattoria was opened in April 2005 by the Hoxallari brothers, Reno and Altin. Trained in Milan, Reno has honed his talents at some of Cambridge?...
...require that one-sixth of the full Faculty be present for any “binding votes” to occur. If the new legislation were adopted, the figure would be lowered to one-eighth. And, according to Ryan, the members of the docket committee would be able to sit a little easier in their seats. But despite Ryan’s optimism, Engineering professor Frederick H. Abernathy, a long-time member of the Faculty who said he has only been to one meeting so far this academic year, had his own idea about how to deal with the problem...
