...Renovations"? Knowles' plan for Wolbach is a wolf masquerading in sheep's clothing. The proposed renovations would likely strip Wolbach of much of its comfort and charm. Many of Wolbach's rooms are already subdivided; partitions have been erected over the years to squeeze extra singles out of the suites' common-room space. Further partitioning would only leave the rooms cramped and awkwardly arranged. Furthermore, the kitchen spaces are long and narrow and do not naturally lend themselves to bedroom conversion. They cannot be removed from the building without seriously damaging Wolbach's appealing character. The best way to alleviate...

Minorities have often defended their self-segregation as a matter of safety, comfort and understanding. As a varsity swimmer, I was part of a self-segregated group that, to this day, descends on Eliot House dining hall for breakfast and dinner. We even use the same tables. Why do we do it? We are friends, we talk about the same things and we bond as a team away from the pool.

Regulations limiting the number of seats on a plane relate to the number of emergency exits, not to passenger comfort - even though there are rules defining minimum space for transporting live animals.

Rules set by the Joint Aviation Authority, a pan-European coalition that develops regulations on aircraft design and maintenance, stipulate that the cabin must be free of "harmful or hazardous" concentrations of gases or vapors, though...

...Rein admits that pop can become cliché, so he has ventured outside his musical comfort zone. While working with Donna Summer on her next album (out this spring), he tried his hand at writing gospel, an experience he found "uplifting." It challenged him to reach people on a deeper level. But he says that heavy stuff can be "too much, too deep," which is why he and fans also need the lightness of pure...

...comfort to her, Sperling is not alone. While conditions in Manhattan may be extreme, many women across the U.S. are finding it increasingly difficult to schedule routine mammograms in anything less than four to eight weeks. Some major imaging centers--notably in New York and Florida--have shut their doors. Others, squeezed by fee structures set by Medicare or managed care, are curtailing services. If you have a suspicious lump or other symptoms, you will usually be seen within a few days, but if you want to spot the smallest tumors--those that give you a 90% or better chance...
