...quiet a Cambridge July, Knowles swept up what he believed was a chaotic University Hall. The prodigious note-taker, who records nearly every interaction he has, had taken note of rifts within the College administration. As one of his first major acts in office, he and Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross ’71 fired Patricia O’Brien, Gross’ deputy and a central player in the growth of what some professors considered the corporate culture of University Hall.

...Australian Test wicket-takers of all time, four have played in the period since the Caribbean triumph of 1995, with Brett Lee poised to join Warne, McGrath, Craig McDermott and Jason Gillespie on the list.

My response was some glib remark about the governor not paying interns, a comment somewhat ironic in that ticket-taker-cum-popcorn-popper is certainly not the most high-paying job I could have obtained for summer employment. Despite my flippant manner, however, this question has been nagging me since classes ended: What am I supposed to be doing during the summer? Clearly, I know all too well that adult acquaintances expect...
