...frogs that Yossi Werzansky wanted to hear. In the evenings, they would start up, calling to one another in the swampy field just beyond Werzansky's new home in suburban Pardess Hannah. Then one day came a different cacophony. Werzansky's new, ultra-Orthodox neighbors had set up a loudspeaker and were broadcasting sermons from a rented house they had turned into a synagogue. Infuriated, the community's secular majority retaliated, organizing a weekly Sabbath-night disco in the next house to outblast the worshippers. A fire bombing and a melee soon followed...
...example of the lack of diversity in student interaction prior to randomization. It is misleading, and offensive, for anyone to assume that diversity can not exist whenever a group of minority students assemble publicly.

No matter. Jail is freedom to outlaw love...
Come fall, however, Harvard's claims of geographic diversity will soon evaporate. Those students who call safe city townhouses, a string of similar picket-fenced suburban tracts or the occasional rural town home begin to identify with each other, and the few from inner-city areas struggle to find space for their experiences in the halls...
