...with no regrets. Luckily, the portions are so large that unless you are particularly ravenous (or a football player), you’ll be sure to head home with enough left-overs to satisfy any drunken late-night munchies. In addition to the praiseworthy pasta, the Hoxallaris also serve thin, crusty 16-inch pizzas ($11.95), salads ($4.75-6.75), and mini arancinis ($4.50)—a Sicilian speciality of fried rice croquettes, filled with creamy Fontina cheese. Although it’s not a personal favorite, the arancinis are definitely worth a try if you’re a cheese...
...Judah Ben-Hur, Heston is still lean; he hasn't quite grown into the Greek physique he'd soon acquire. His thin face is dominated by a high, mile-wide brow, which made him a thinking-man hero - and, in his scenes with Stephen Boyd's Messala, Judah's boyhood friend and later deadly rival, startlingly intense.

No, it’s not an actual copy of the iconic nature publication, but an April Fools’ parody issue distributed across the country in a collaborative effort between National Geographic magazine and The Harvard Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine. The Lampoon provided and controlled the content...
...letter to the applicants recognizes this concern (and they plan to refund the application fee) it was in poor form to announce this decision after the application deadline. The reason for eliminating transfer admissions—a housing crunch—certainly did not appear out of thin air. The act of eliminating transfer admissions undermines the Harvard admissions philosophy. Had Harvard read the current applications and decided that none were qualified enough to warrant further housing strain, the decision not to admit transfers would have seemed warranted. Instead, the admissions officers set an a priori cap rather than reading...
