...helped his son Rich move into his dorm at Appalachian State University last month, Bruce Withrow, 52, remembered how he and his classmates were greeted at another North Carolina university 33 years earlier, when baby boomers were swelling enrollments. "We've got too many of you here," an administrator told them. "And we're going to get rid of a bunch of you." That's a far cry from the message that Rich and other incoming students get at Appalachian. "All of you have the ability to do well here," Joe Watts, an associate vice chancellor, assured a group...

Ryan, 26, the former lead singer for the alt-country band Whiskeytown, writes songs that have the passion of youth and a melancholy that one might think would be beyond his years.

I went to ask saleswoman Tiffany Denee what kind of women shop there, but she was busy helping another customer, former All My Children star Eva LaRue. Tiffany was answering...
...turn, stuck to his bland and uninspired script. "Married for 34 years?.I'm not a perfect man?I never asked anyone to lie?." He followed the Lenny Bruce dictum so often embraced by politicians and raised to an art form by Bill Clinton: deny, deny, deny...
