In addition, Yale limited the music to one official DJ, located in the Yale tailgate area. Ryan M.

In the real world, Padwal estimates, the attrition rate is even worse: Less than 10% of his clinic patients, he says, are still taking the drugs three months after they're prescribed...
...recalling the '60s and '70s, Martin writes revealingly of his sex life (busy) and his drug life (not so much).

Ryan M. Travia, Harvard’s director of alcohol and other drug services, was honored at a national convention in Atlanta on Saturday. “It was a total surprise,” Travia said yesterday. “I heard my name and sort of blanked after that.
