Back when they had "the best party in America", "Easters Weekend".

There used to be a TJ's pub on the corner down by 14th Street. After Thomas Jefferson, Edgar Allan Poe was the name we all learned, with his well-maintained dorm on the Lawn. Now, the pre-emptive war advocate, mythologist and failed 9/11 Commission director Zelikow teaches history there. Which adversely affects the alumnae contributions of at least several of us. Thanks in part to your persistent work.
