...tailor-made for busy Parisians in search of a lunchtime snack and a little something to take home for supper. Visiting New Yorkers contemplating its bright display cases and rows of prepacked salads may recognize Be as a deli. But with its natural stonework, low-key lighting and spray-finished zinc, it's a deli with a decidedly French flair.

Undeterred, the Dekes tried again in 1978, this time developing a device that would spray-paint “MIT” in the field. Once again luck was not in their favor as a group of Brown students burnt a “B” onto the Harvard Stadium turf with lye a few weeks before the planned prank...

...night before Halloween and two days before my still-unfinished Harvard application is due. The next morning, our entire senior class will show up to school in costume. While some are donning Backstreet Boys and Baywatch outfits, my friends and I are making our purple capes and spray painting our broomsticks silver.
