...undergraduates the outside world seems completely distinct from the one within the university. College values intelligence, grades and ideals; the outside world values money and prestige and no integration seems to exist between the two. This mentality was illustrated beautifully in last week's Independent, whose cover featured a smiling graduate holding her diploma, whose face became a mask of horror when she turned to the real world and realized she had to find a job. Going from being a full-time student to a full-time breadwinner seems like jumping from a sauna into the Atlantic Ocean...
...rate, even 90 hours a week wouldn't cover dual-activist CEO gigs at two highly dynamic companies on opposite sides of the San Francisco Bay. Over and over, Jobs notes that he "doesn't direct the movies" at Pixar, and--the odd marketing meeting aside--he has clearly relinquished day-to-day leadership of the animation house to director John Lasseter on the creative side and co-founder Ed Catmull on the tech side. But when the company does need Jobs--mostly as a public face and all-purpose corporate strategist--he delivers. The money. The marketing. The deals...
...physically there. And there's not a day that I'm at Pixar that I don't do stuff for Apple."

"If somebody doesn't flush a toilet around here," he says in mock complaint, "I get e-mail from Kansas about...
Indeed, day spas have evolved from an indulgence to an expected perk. Some health-insurance providers, like Blue Cross of California now cover at least some spa treatments if prescribed by a physician. Better hotels simply have to have one, and companies like Hewlett-Packard are hiring on-site massage therapists for employees. Big Business has had its head turned in other ways too. The French giant LVMH, owner of Dior and Givenchy, last spring bought New York City's ultrahip Bliss spa for an estimated $30 million. Cosmetic companies like Estee Lauder are competing as well, with growing chains...
...working as a hip-hop radio deejay in Los Angeles before he joined the pop-rock band Sugar Ray in 1994. At first he was a mere sideman--on the band's 1995 album Lemonade and Brownies; he's not even in the group photo on the back cover. Then again, the picture is a supremely geeky shot of the band riding on a roller coaster, so maybe being left out was a blessing in disguise. In any case, Homicide says, today he's "cut in on publishing and merchandising, and I'm a full-fledged member." He's still...
