Only Harvard could get away with erecting a building this big in Cambridge. How big is it? I'm glad you asked that question.
It's so big, it's got its own zip code. It's so big, it makes the great wall of China look like a guide rail. It's so big, black holes fall into it. It's so big...ah, you get the idea. Seriously, the
Wasserstein Hall, Caspersen Student Center, Clinical Wing complex designed by
architect
Robert Stern covers two city blocks and is apparently part of the Harvard Law School's evil plot to dominate the planet Earth. Talk about your ivory tower: its front windows are each as tall as a city bus standing on end (about 50 feet). My pet name -- I can hardly bring myself to use
diminuitive -- for this behemoth is the
Reichstag, though my ancestors would probably call it a big
bandura, a gourd-like string instrument that Ukrainians refer to as a synonym for all things large and unwieldy.

We want Patti in the picture, please.
Patti *is* in the picture. The building is so big, she's takes up only one tenth of a pixel on the lower left.
Aw, readers, I am touched by your clamoring but I am on the point of spontaneous combustion: that's why I am nowhere to be seen. Harvard just told us beginning The Ides (Monday!), Dig They Must!
They will be bothering us with even more noise, fewer parking spaces, early bird construction workers bandying about colorful stevedorean phrases before dawn.
Gr•r•r•r•r•r
That is none other than a youthful M. Henri holding the bandura in the photo. What more is needed?
Our concern is that in both the Feb. 27 and the Mar. 12 postings, Ms. Bay is nowhere to be seen. We hunger and sincerely hope this does not indicate a "trend."
Meanwhile, we know a website where you can instantly unload and rid yourself of all those Veritas-prompted ill feelings, Cherie.
Hateforhire.blogspot.com here I come!
Mon Dieu! I thought I had suppressed all photos from those days!
