...tasteful and eclectic tastes show up in her extracurriculars as well. She currently plays electric guitar and violin in Plan B for the Type A’s—an all-girl rock band made up of five Harvard seniors—and is a member of the Harvard College Alliance of Rock and Roll. But despite these other activities, design has always been her raison d’être...
...Donnie Forbis, who hoped to hear his band's original music on national radio, Dream Foundation arranged a broadcast on a Sirius satellite channel, including a party that day with family and friends and a call from celebrity volunteer Priscilla Presley. For Dorothy Hensley, 89, who longed to be a published writer, the group approached an inspirational website, which posted her personal essay on dying. Both Forbis and Hensley lived to hear from fans. Local television and radio covered Forbis' national debut, and Hensley has received more than 1,000 e-mails in response to her piece...

On pop-inflected songs like Puesto, it's impossible not to sing "woo-ooh" right along with the chorus. That doesn't mean the band has no bite. Smart lyrics take enough stinging jabs at kleptomaniac pols and the Argentine upper class to keep the band sounding authentically rebellious...
...Band-Aids in our welcome gift bag made us feel tough, but a lot more drinking than working goes on at Crush Camp. We stopped picking grapes after about an hour and raked grapes from bins into a crusher only long enough to pose for pictures. It took all of 10 minutes for us to take turns punching down a cap of skins into a small batch of Malbec with our hands, during which three of my campmates somehow refrained from making an I Love Lucy joke...
