Even though none of the regulars have sat in on an Ec10 lecture, they’re just as solid a part of the Harvard culture and count on Whitney’s as a hideaway from all those bratty college kids. That being said, the Whitney’s crew is not averse to serving up a cold one to the occasional Harvard customer...
...KINGMAKERS In the early ?50s, Atlantic occasionally bought the national rights to local R&B hits. One of these was Leiber and Stoller?s "Smokey Joe?s Cafe."

In Montenegro and Serbia, several women describe being lined up naked in the hotel room where they were held, in a kind of inspection line for slave shoppers. In Kosovo...

But from that moment, investigators began painstakingly corroborating the tale told them by CS1, which was based on his years as a founding member of al Qaeda. He told of traveling to a secret hideaway in Afghanistan where he swore his bayat, or complete allegiance, as the third member in the group bin Laden was setting up around 1990 to transform the Afghan rebellion into an anti-American jihad...
