Tamar:  Can you offer any details?  Goodness knows I'm not concom this 
year, but as a long-time Staffer, I've heard nothing about this.

Some sample prices for buffets and concession carts?  Whose carts?  Whose 
MIT trucks, what do they offer?

BTW, Trader Joe's IS a hike -- 'bout a mile if I don't miss my guess -- 
though cold river-effect wind.  Star Market/Shaws at University Park may 
actually be closer; I don't know for certain.
