...restaurant features a bar area decorated with green, aqua and red lamps; booths nestled against windows that are covered by thin neon green curtains; and a huge circular grill in the middle of the dining area...
...fact that many college students, like Wynne, are under the legal drinking age is rarely an obstacle. Many drink at private parties off campus, with an older student buying the alcohol. Bars' enforcement of the drinking age can be lax, false IDs are common, and legal-age friends are often willing to buy the drinks and bring them back to the table. In fact, raising the legal drinking age from 18 to 21, a movement that swept all 50 states over the past two decades, may actually have made the binging problem worse. Instead of drinking in well-monitored settings...
...banning alcohol on campus does nothing about the dangers that lurk just outside. "You can have a perfect program on campus, but if you don't do anything about the liquor store across the street that sells to minors or the bar that serves intoxicated students, you haven't solved the problem," says William DeJong, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health.

He had just come through a brutal series of chemotherapy sessions (battling a recurrence of the cancer that had first struck him when he was 23), but was eager to do what he always loved--talk about TV. Walking into the bar of the Four Seasons Hotel, he looked gaunt and thin, a baseball cap covering his bald head. It took real guts to show up at this sybaritic show-biz haunt so boldly announcing his illness. But for Tartikoff, it was a statement. Not of some corny TV-movie sentiment (How brave!) but just about...
