...creates life in London as it might have been lived between 1724 and 1919. Each room captures a different era, but the attention to detail never wavers: a discarded wig on a chair; a quill resting in an inkwell; crumpets toasting on a crackling fire; a half-filled chamber pot hidden under a chaise longue. Unlike most museums there are no cordoned-off areas - visitors are encouraged to roam freely. Hidden tape recordings of a chiming grandfather clock, a muffled conversation in another room and the clip-clop of horses' hooves on the street evoke the historic atmosphere...
...Less clear are the signals sent by the College. The treatment of drug violations on campus varies from waving away the issue like so much pot smoke to public prosecutions and suspensions. This erratic enforcement of drug laws makes the College’s policy maddeningly unclear and unfairly singles out unlucky individuals for massively disproportionate punishment...
...unofficially, John L. Ellison, the assistant dean and secretary of the Administrative Board, said that students will rarely be disciplined solely for minor drugs violations.

I also doubt that the Republican coalition-minders were pleased when Foley blamed his problems on an adolescent...
...which is intended for that very purpose, and uses a mere 1.1 gallons of water per dose. Furthermore, the green toilet handles are, according to the new placards, bacteria resistant, so there’s no need to flush with your foot. And at only $15 a pot, it’s not just Mother Earth that will save a little green, Harvard will, too, in long-term water costs. There may be one disadvantage to the new handles, though. Different flushes mean different noises, and in the cozy river Houses, the whole suite might know the exact nature...
