Like the first festival, Woodstock '94 did not actually take place in Woodstock. It was held over three days last weekend in Saugerties, New York, and attracted about 255,000 people, half the number who made up Woodstock Nation in Bethel, an hour's drive away. The crowd was overwhelmingly white and middle-class. The bands, 50 of them, were more diverse and included everyone from sexy female rappers Salt N Pepa and trippy alternative rockers Blind Melon to punk-funksters Red Hot Chili Peppers and even soul crooner Joe Cocker, who reprised his Woodstock '69 classic With a Little...

Sunday River, located near Bethel, Maine, has a lot to offer the student with a limited budget, its six mountain peaks, eleven chair-lifts, and seventy trails offer enough variety to more than fill a weekend ski trip. But there is much more to do than just ski. The resort has many attractions, including a spectacular heated pool. It is quite a novelty to pack a bathing suit for a ski trip. There is also a sauna. For night life, there are a number of clubs located near most of the condominiums and the ski dorms. The condominiums are extremely...
