Stepping across the threshold of the Leverett room belonging to Baruch Shemtov ’09 is a different experience entirely. The soft brown leather chair, wooden screens, and warm lighting give the room, in Shemtov’s words, a feeling of “exotic...
...outing: gentlemen, grab your sunocles (sunocle = sunglass monocle). This round is all about confidence and fitting in. Remember they’re just as uncomfortable as you are. [citation needed]. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Chiappini still remembers lying on soft meadow grass with a Delphic member, remarking that a cloud looked like a bunny. The member retorted, “No, it’s a Delphic. They’re all Delphics.” To always have a relevant conversation topic, bring along a talisman related to the club?...

He lost the April primary contest to Hillary Clinton by 10 points, and even the state's Democratic governor, Ed Rendell, has said there are many culturally conservative voters who would have a hard time embracing a black man as President. McCain's campaign says its internal polling shows the gap between the two nominees to be 3 or 4 percentage points closer than the polls, putting McCain theoretically within striking distance in the past...

(In that regard, he did himself no favors over the weekend, admitting that he and Bush share a "common philosophy," which Obama quickly seized upon.) Heeding calls from the likes of Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell not to take the state for granted, Obama is returning...
