Some travelers have mixed feelings about chancing poor weather on what may be their only vacation of the year. Seldom so golfers, a breed of vacationer for whom low-season rates are made. Bad weather rarely keeps them from their game. And golfers can save twice over. Not only are packages less expensive in low season, but course fees are lower too. Those who want to venture away from the resort they're staying at to play a popular nearby course can save as well. Combined green-and-cart fees on the two Tom Fazio-designed courses at Wild Dunes...
Harvard students are a strange, strange breed. Basically, the admissions officers go through the applicant pool each year and choose the 2,000 students most likely to make a mark on the world.

Perhaps most importantly, the students did not allow their efforts to peter out in the aftermath of the dramatic rally. They have remained doggedly persistent and have kept their issues in the public...
...this element of teenage pranksterism and boorish humor--combined with pictures of women in the sort of bathing suits that would remain on for a millisecond were they ever deployed for actual bathing--that typifies the new breed of men's magazines, among them Gear and Maxim. The latter has become so popular with its twentysomething male audience that it recently spawned an even more vulgar offshoot called Stuff. Stuff endorses products like Belcher soda and flaunts cover lines that leave no doubt about how far the magazine will go to capitalize on feelings of hostility men may possess toward...
