...good idea, therefore, to attend the cider and cookie shindig at your senior adviser's pad. And don't be careless with your fancy invitation to Dean Hank Moses' tea party. You'll get hot cider, good coffee and some of the best pastries in Cambridge. And you'll get a chance to meet the Dean, who's truly a great guy. Ask him to go rock climbing and he'll love you. But be careful about dragging him onto a handball court. He's a terror...
When Shirley Brown, 53, slipped on her icy sidewalk in 1978, breaking two pelvic bones, she did not just get angry with her husband William, 58, she sued him in Massachusetts superior court for $35,000. She claimed that he was "careless and negligent in his maintenance of the sidewalks" in front of their house in Wakefield, a suburb of Boston. His lawyer, who was also representing Brown's insurance company, argued that under the state Equal Rights Amendment, it was just as much her responsibility as his to clear the sidewalks.

Ward swung the Huey over a huge mudhole that had once been Spirit Lake, a body of water so clear that it mirrored St. Helens like a reflecting...

Others will be misinterpreted as if they were careless of academic freedom. Though the academic classes usually prefer distinguish to inventing, this problem seems to overtax their capacity for distinction. We should not expose ourselves to repeated occasions for disagreement, bluster, and bitterness over something that is fundamental to us in exchange for something that contributes almost nothing to our basic...
...flirt with social commentary and take on racial injustice in Doesn 't Make It Alright, whose straightforward lyric and fine-tuned beat steer way wide of solemnity. Specials and Madness members even dress in good-humored approximation of the Kingston "rude boys" of the '60s, from the careless cuffs of their pegged pants up to the porkpie hats that sit on their heads like a street hustler's version of cap and bells. In performance, both bands leap about in transports of benign dementia. The highlight of a Madness show is a ska version of Swan Lake...
