A cold-shower diamond to the history department, whose chair told us it wouldn't "have just sexy courses" in the future. Good. After being seduced by the likes of "China's Late Empires" and "English History, 1529-1660," we're looking forward to a tamer lineup.
A diamond to Gov.-elect Lincoln Chafee '75 P'14 for sending Frank Caprio to a third-place finish in Tuesday's election. That's yet another employer choosing a Brunonian over a Harvard grad.
