...pontoon-fendered Buicks. By some reports Faurer could be a difficult, saturnine man. But he had a gift for seizing thunderbolts from New York's crackling air. He made just a handful of great pictures, but in them you find the city we still know--so intricate in mood, so darkly complicated that it's plainly vulnerable. Invincible...

Atmospheric music is more common at Disney than at Harvard, but the deafening bass heard (and felt) at any weekend party is appropriate mood music for any college campus. You can top off your day by dressing in your best Pleather and engaging in drunken revelry at Pleasure Island, a nighttime oasis of clubs and bars, or at the Final Club scene. And no theme park or university is complete without long lines. After...
