...backpack to my opposite shoulder, I noticed the hordes of people wearing clothing apparently woven out of oatmeal, the flush of “Free Tibet” bumper stickers plastering Volvos, and the sheer numerical freakishness of hemp “jewelry.”“Sweet Dorothy Parker!” I exclaimed. “Harvard’s full of Granolas!” In fact, it occurred to me that Granola may have been the fashion mantra of Cambridge since its inception. Heck, even the Puritans were Granola.For the uninitiated, or those...
It’s got a sleek new paint job, chrome trim, and a flaming grille. But rather than powering up a car, this sweet machine revs up Harvard’s students. This fall, the Eliot Grille, a student-run snack bar in Eliot House, is getting a neat new facelift. Proposed changes would transform its previous, drab decor into something that resembles a ’50s diner. Nondescript walls will now be washed in bright red and blue. And the House is buying ’50s-style furniture to complement the new paint job. This furniture...
...about a cauliflower, a black olive and four stems? A sheep. A pineapple half and chunks of green pepper? A turtle. Those are what you get in Freymann's antic, ingenious sculptures of fruits and vegetables. Some of his creations are scarcely altered.

The book has five sections in which Freymann's fancies illustrate shapes, colors, numbers, letters and opposites...
LEAVE IT TO BEAVER THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON Beaver hasbecome shorthand for 1950s naivet.

When Beaver (Jerry Mathers) is worried that his teacher will hit him over a minor mess-up, Wally (Tony Dow) corrects him: "Only the coach can hit you." Beaver was never edgy, but it packed its own good-natured punch...
...Valli wasn't just kidding with his falsetto. It was not pure, not angelic, like the sweet-child voices of Brian and Carl Wilson on such Beach Boys tracks as "In My Room" and "God Only Knows." Valli's had a raspiness that gave his romantic pleas gravel, gravity, balls. This was no castrato, but a grown, yearning heterosexual male whose impossibly high voice set him apart, in tone and content, from the baritone norm, and made him perfect for all the outsider characters he would articulate in the Seasons' hits...
