Knox's measured explanation of her sometimes bizarre behavior in the hours and days after the murder certainly helped her defense. What the press called "cartwheels" in the police station during questioning, she explained as stress-reducing yoga; she said photographs of her making out with Sollecito in the yard outside the cottage as police inspected the murder scene simply reflected her state of "shock" and his efforts to console her with "cuddling."

...Hiva Oa is not your run-of-the-mill tourist island.

Harvard treated its transfers both as transfers and as students older than freshmen. At the champagne brunch in Annenberg earlier this spring, acquaintances and casual friends asked what freshman entryway I had lived...
Mass. Ave. marks the dividing line between “old Harvard” and “new Harvard”. On one side sits the Yard, the President’s office, the admissions office—all the trappings of a diverse twenty-first century university. On the other side stand the vestiges of “old Harvard”—the Porcellian, A. D., Fly, Owl, Delphic, Fox, Phoenix S. K., and Spee Clubs—the eight remaining all-gentleman’s final clubs of a bygone...
