this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

The Show Was Cringe, but This Was the Summer We All Turned Pretty How the teen drama became the most talked-about series of the last few months.
