...ever end,†adds Royce, who is a former Crimson editor.PURITANS IN THE DORMSThroughout the mid-1950s, petitions requesting the extension of parietal hours circulated. Specifically, students lobbied for longer hours during the football season and for freshmen to have the same visitation rights as upperclassmen.As members of the Class of 1956 completed their freshman year, they lost the opportunity to entertain women from 1 to 4 p.m., in return for a three-hour extension on Saturday evenings until 11 p.m. Despite the gain on Saturday nights, undergraduates had a net loss of 15 hours per week...

Waitresses in red tartan aprons now dish out edible pizza for $1 a slice at Tashir's shiny new restaurant, which also offers wireless Internet access. Nearby are a sushi bar, a kitchen-design store, a café that bears a passing resemblance to Starbucks, a bright yellow mobile-phone kiosk that's open 24 hours...
...likely run for U.S. Senator from his home state of Minnesota. As he says of his presumed opponent, Norm Coleman, "I?d be the only New York Jew in the race who is actually from Minnesota." For now, Franken writes best-selling Right-baiting books and hosts a daily three-hour show on Air America Radio, a perch from which he inveighs against the White House and Congress and promotes virtually any Democrat running for virtually anything...
