Both sides of the standoff can learn from the creativity of Soap Lake. Faced with three difficult challenges, Soap Lake came up with an imaginative solution, one that not only bonded citizens from all parts of society, but will also, “after 14 million years, return lava to Soap Lake.” Yes, the designers are former hippies—one ponytail reaches mid-back. Such creativity seems impossible here in Cambridge, where the fifty-somethings on both sides cut their hair long ago—there’s nothing left to let down. Harvard briefly...
...citizens of Soap Lake, Wash. have found the solution to their economic woes: a Giant Lava Lamp. The tiny rural town hopes the lamp will become a major tourist attraction, with neon psychedelic blobs of color undulating inside the 60-by-18-foot structure (about the height of Widener Library) day and night. The Soap Lake City Council fully supports the plan: “Wouldn’t you stop to see a lava lamp?” Councilor Leslie Slough asked the Boston Globe. “A great...
...Soap Lake, the Giant Lava Lamp comes as the solution to three problems: too few tourists, too much space, and a lack of definition as a town. Here at Harvard, we have the exact opposite problems.

There is so little space that half of Harvard is considering leaving Cambridge...
...Enrico Ghezzi, offers one of Italy's best shows by pasting together clips from some of its worst. Five excruciating seconds of a half-naked, singing showgirl segues into 30 seconds of politicians shouting each other down, which cuts to the day's sappiest moment from a low-budget soap. Into this kaleidoscope of bad taste Ghezzi inserts a few news highlights, often including Berlusconi's gaffes, stutters, tirades and unfulfilled campaign promises. Ghezzi repeats them over and over again, to tragicomic effect. But according to the Prime Minister's growing crowd of critics, Blob and a few other shows...
...citrus zest—offers a caffeine hit comparable to a Frappucino and a nice buzz to boot. For those who would rather not mix their fixes, there are other innovative and non-alcoholic ways to get your daily dose of caffeine. Lathering up in the morning with caffeinated soap can now provide you with 200 milligrams per wash—that’s twice the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Unlike a cup of joe, which is done when you take your last sip, each bar of Shower Shock soap contains 12 servings, and you can scrub...
