Most surprising, perhaps, for many Gen-Xers, who think living together is a prudent rehearsal for "I do," the report contends that cohabitation reduces the likelihood of later wedded bliss. It quotes a 1992 study of 3,300 adults showing that those who had lived with a partner were 46% more likely to divorce than those who had not. "The longer you cohabit, the more tolerant you are of divorce," says David Popenoe, the sociologist who co-wrote the study. "You're used to living in a low-commitment relationship, and it's hard to shift that kind of mental...
...Wright has more chemistry with the man she initially mistakes for G than with Costner, her dream man. Not only is it highly unlikely that someone as attractive as Wright would find a bloated, antisocial Costner appealing, it is also impossible to convince the audience that the union is bliss. In one particular scene when Costner visits Wright at her office, a co-worker slips a note to her that says "What a babe!"

In the meantime, good luck folks--on exams, papers, theses, navigating the ice and discovering the meaning of life. If things don't work out precisely as planned, remember, transcendental bliss is only a Scorpion Bowl away. Noah D. Oppenheim '00 is a social studies concentrator in Adams House...
...remained detached, celebrating chief of staff John Podesta's 50th birthday Friday night by performing an X-Files skit with Hillary and showing a video of the actual cast singing "Happy Birthday, Skippy." Down Pennsylvania Avenue, the Senators too were in the mood to party. Perhaps because bliss may be fleeting, they got drunk on consensus. After the unanimous vote, Kennedy and his wife Victoria ran into Lott in a private room just off the Senate chamber. Lott gave her a big kiss: "How about some crawfish etouffe?" Lott joked when the discussion turned to favorite foods. Kennedy tried...
