...banged spoons on plates to emphasize the depth of Serbia's economic malaise. They marched in front of the state-run TV network holding their noses "because the lies stink so much." They sprayed parliament with detergent (to symbolize the need to clean up corruption). Even as the winter weather turned from surly to mean, the crowd's numbers--and boldness--burgeoned with each passing...
...rained out in ages and ages--no spring showers there. And it is impossible to find out when it has rained on Commencement. Definitely in 1904 and perhaps once in the late 1960s. Maybe in 1978 but no one really knows. An Oliver Stone conspiracy here? Harvard flubs on weather control and erases all records of rain! Maybe. Just lucky coincidences that all goes well for Harvard weatherwise when they really need it? I think not! You may ask why then did it rain during the soccer game or at the Head of the Charles?

...benefits the University in all ways to control the weather; it ensures that on occasions when outsiders will be looking in, the school will glow with color and be enveloped in pleasant temperatures, and during the majority of the year when it is freezing, students will be inside reading. Harvard's discretionary use of its weather control power guarantees that the administration's ploys will not be discovered and students will stay in their rooms and gripe over GPAs or the most recent U.S. News and World Report rankings...
