Delta now running Harvard

From the NYT:

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Gone are the hot breakfasts in most dorms and the pastries at Widener Library.

...

By Harvard standards, these are hard times. Not Dickensian hard times, but with the value of its endowment down by almost 30 percent, the world’s richest university is learning to live with less.

...

But many here assumed student life at Harvard, more than at any other institution, was immune from hardship. The loss of scrambled eggs, bacon and other cooked breakfast foods in the dorms of upperclassmen on weekdays seems to have stirred the most ire.



I miss my NW omelette...

Mod please lock.

Seriously, this DL bashing has gotten out of control.

If you are not happy, please leave. CO is giving status match like it's free. Please email [email protected], submit a copy of your NWA or DL card indicating elite status as well as airline activities and you will be matched within 24 hours. @:-) then, please stop posting in this forum and go directly to post http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/continental-onepass-488/

What can I say about this.

Off topic post (Omni) designed to start another DL-NWA food fight.

Wonderful, just what we needed around here.

BTW, the omelet I had on DL 3 weeks ago was pretty good.

Want a hot breakfast? It's been replaced with your choice of a vase or a bowl - both come with Cheerios!

I don't know about locking the thread, but it does seem more of an Omni topic.
