...life is defined by debauchery: drunken football tailgates, “Anything But Clothes” parties, and meaningless one-night hookups. At Harvard, however, students complain that the outlets for those primal urges are limited. There are Final Clubs for the few who are suitably adept at drinking wine and eating cheese. There is a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine for the few who can fit in the cookie-cutter shape of the publication’s officer core. But for the majority of Harvardians without access...
...hugged her husband while daughter Elizabeth Vittor, an attorney herself, sobbed so much her body shook. All the emotion of the moment was understandable. The 64-year-old founder of Enron, the high-flying energy company that once fancied itself as a trader of everything from water to wine, now faces the prospect of 45 years in prison - in other words, the rest of his life. Before leaving the U.S. District Courthouse after the verdict, he had to surrender his passport and his children had to sign a bond waiving rights to their property...
...heavy and expensive - not to mention so strong that it could pull on a paper clip with nearly 100 pounds of force. You're blasted with strong radio waves. The protons in your body absorb some radio waves, then they let some back out - like a crystal wine glass ringing after a great soprano sings at it. The machine "listens" to the radio waves that come back out with a bunch of little antennas and then, by comparing the output of the antennas and doing a few hundred million simple calculations, it determines, roughly, how much water...
...condoms, even cans of Trabi Duft - fumes from the iconic Trabant car - and the very brand of hair gel preferred by former east German leader Erich Honecker. Young Berliners still gather at "authentic" G.D.R. parties, where guests don the uniforms of state organizations, swill Little Red Riding Hood sparkling wine and dance to ballads like In the East, which sold 300,000 copies a few years ago. This phenomenon of nostalgia for the lost east, dubbed Ostalgie, was neatly encapsulated in the 2003 hit film Goodbye Lenin!, a sweet-tempered comedy about a son who protects the feelings...
...uninitiated, proper tequila is the liquor of the blue agave plant, which, contrary to popular belief, is not a cactus but a lily (and strictly speaking, spirits made from other kinds of agave are not tequila at all, but mezcal). Much like whiskey or wine, tequila has its own system of classifications. Tequila that has been aged for two months is known as reposado; if it spends more than a year in the barrel, it's classified as a?ejo. The other popular designation?gold?refers to tequila that is flavored with caramel. One of the hottest new brands...
