...more than a little jarring to find the stereotypical d?cor of the Wild West here (from longhorns mounted over the stage to wagon wheels doubling as glass racks over the bar), in one of the world's last Communist capitals?a place that was at war with the U.S. just a generation ago. Indeed, the neighboring train station was bombed to smithereens by American warplanes in 1972. For years after the war, "decadent" rock and pop music was only played behind closed doors.

Yale is clearly falling behind. Like a wounded dog pulled behind the ancient Stoics’ proverbial wagon, Yale limps towards the inevitable gnashing its teeth in a desperate and futile attempt to change its fate. But no matter how much Yalies bark and howl about Harvard’s tailgates—which, despite the Boston Police Department’s best efforts, had enough sauce to warm undergraduate revelers all morning and afternoon—or their supposedly superior—read: sweaty and pathetic—social life or their New Haven bunker mentality that they confuse...
