...past the souvenir shops and food court, one might reasonably hope to wait for a plane in peace. Yet in most airports, the buzz and whir continues right to the gates, with CNN's Airport Network the prime culprit. Sure, they feed our news addiction and send along the stream of stock prices (the symbols themselves some quixotic mix of advertising and investment), but they don't stop there: One "news" piece, more likely a subtle advertisement for a product or resort, is followed by the CNN logo and theme music, to keep the company and the product...

...Whether they are leaning against the wall of Memorial Hall watching freshman stream through the doors or walking the beat past Let's Go on Mount Auburn, HUPD officers try to assimilate. Some of them, such as Officer Kevin Bryant, have campus recognition for more than their guns. A few weeks ago, Bryant hosted the Callbacks a cappella concert and led the audience in a heartfelt rendition of "Under the Boardwalk" and "Sitting by the Dock of the Bay." When he isn't serenading audiences at Sanders, Bryant can be found giving frosh presentations about the HUPD...
