...only went to a handful of parties that year, and I nearly got beaten up at one of them. The weekend of the Harvard-Yale game, kirkland House was having a victory bash, and I decided to pass up Cabot Library for the night. The library staff probably filled out a missing persons report for me, but I made up for it by studying hard the rest of the month. I was dragged to the party by roommates, a few friends from the hall and a few women from upstairs. One of the women from upstairs began drinking heavily...
Kirkpatrick will also make about 20 unpaid appearances on behalf of the Republican Party in 1985. The G.O.P. threw a bash in April just to celebrate her change of registration. Republican National Committee Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf plans to showcase Kirkpatrick in a $100,000 campaign to convert Democrats in four states with potentially close Senate races next year (Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Louisiana). Last Friday 1,000 Republicans paid $50 a plate to hear her address a dinner in Des Moines; counting others who put up $1,000 each to meet her at a private reception, her appearances raised...

Many of the parties are planned around a feverish array of activities, all designed to keep the mind off booze. At Cherry Creek High School outside Denver, the postprom bash this year featured volleyball in the gym, water games in the pool, disco dancing, a magic show, ten video games and a makeshift casino. Free hot dogs, nachos and soft drinks were served, and as the party broke up at 6 a.m., there were doughnuts and juice...
Since its beginning in 1982, the U.S. economic recovery has been something of a big, boisterous back-to-work bash. The growth binge has provided more than 4 million new jobs. But one group, minority teenagers, has found the door to the party all but slammed in its face. The chronic inability of these young people to get jobs, even during a boom time, has become one of the most painful and persistent economic problems facing the U.S. Says Robert Coard, executive director of Action for Boston Community Development: "This syndrome is having a terrible impact on the morale...
