More on Gelato Morano
After a couple of weeks of assiduously tasting the various ice creams and sortbets at Gelato Morano in Rosey’s Café in Hanover, I can confirm that the results of my selfless research on behalf of Dartblog readers continue to be more than positive.
The subject of Italian gelati is one close to my heart: each year over the past couple of decades, I have spent 2-4 weeks in Italy, chiefly in the Chianti region of Tuscany, on the Amalfi Coast, or in Milan at the home of the family with whom I lived for the better part of my senior year. Thorough sleuthing into the best local gelaterie has been a continuous part of my rigorous cultural investigations — though never more than two visits each day. A man has to have discipline in this kind of thing.
Conclusion: Gelato Morano of Hanover would be a credible presence in any Italian city. You should pay the shop a visit to find out if you agree.
Note: The above picture of a gelateria in Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast well illustrates the heights to which Italians can take this kind of thing.

Kangaroo Court, Indeed
In an interview with The Dartmouth, alumni-elected trustee T.J. Rodgers ‘70 explained his reasons for declining to participate in future evaluations of trustees up for “re-election,” namely the “kangaroo court” nature of such discussion in…
