...dominated organization, some of whose agents were seconded to their jobs by law-enforcement services back home as cushy sinecures after years in the police trenches. Staff in Lyons worked regular office hours, took wine-soaked lunches in a city renowned for its excellent cuisine, and hit the nearby ski slopes on winter weekends. Few outside Lyons understood exactly what Interpol did, and its agents were regularly used as fictional mystery men, portrayed with creative inaccuracy in everything from Patricia Cornwell thrillers to The Da Vinci Code. Even now, a Google search for "Interpol" is likely to bring as many...

Traveling west to the 89th annual Williams Carnival, Harvard skiing ended the weekend in the ninth spot—a familiar finish for the Alpine and Nordic teams. The Crimson earned ninth for the fourth time in as many competitions this season, notching its ninth consecutive ninth-place result since 2006.

Of the Crimson’s 256 points, 29 were put up by sophomore Christopher Kinner on the Alpine side...
...such format. In fact, it has no format at all. The introduction provided above is entirely my own, and the video actually opens in medias res. Ostensibly, “Scream” is about a theft of some sort. Otherwise why would Nicole Scherzinger sport a ski mask indoors? Or why would Timbaland have video screens installed in the trunk of his whip that read “Target Secured?” There are other questions to ask though. Like why does Timbaland insist on going shirtless for so much of the video? And what, exactly, is this...
