That's right. And of course it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. They deny this. They say that they don't influence sales, that there's no payola, that there's no influence on content. But there's ample evidence that that's false. If you play a song enough, you start singing it. It's really almost that simple. From what I understand, stations used to play a song on average about 40 times a week. It's up to 140 times a week...
...addition to The Crimson, other Harvard buildings that would be affected by the renaming of the street include Adams House and Quincy House. Duehay said that while he may have underestimated the opposition to his proposal, his aim is still to honor Halberstam.

The label says it's enriched with vitamins A and E - and, I'll admit, this product didn...
...Green Hand Sanitizing Spray The Organic Rosemary and Mint Hand Sanitizing Spray by Teens Turning Green is my fave for on-the-go Incidents of Germ - and not just because it supports a national coalition of teens trying to inspire earth-friendly choices. Even with a 62% organic alcohol content, the herb-garden smell of the spritz rocks - and I especially dig the pocket-sized spray-bottle format. It's perfectly portable, creates little waste and one spray (the bottle contains 100) is good for both palms. How's that for conservation? Price: $3.99; available exclusively at Whole Foods Market...
