...North shore of Massachusetts Bay lie several beautiful beaches. Revere Beach, undeniably the most frequented by undergrads, is a refreshing fifteen minute walk from the T stop, but the North shore offers far more enticing if harder to reach locations. Crane Beach in Ipswich has the stereotypical “One Crazy Summer” sand dunes, ranger outpost, and luxury public restrooms, as well as a rather hefty $20 for non-member cars, and $6 for pedestrians. For those not willing to make such a journey without a car, Manchester by the Sea has all the beauty of Crane...
Meanwhile, back on lower Earth--in the roiling depths of California film noir--there are plots every bit as dark and complex as those in the season's fantasy films.

The built-in retractable cranes will allow the ships to load and unload quickly, even at ports with inferior...
...what did I send my grandmother? I finally chose a blank card with a not-horribly-offensive flower on the front and escaped from card hell. Then I made a beeline for the nearest stationery store, where I gathered an armful of plain, heavy Crane's notecards and envelopes. As I stood in line with my selections, I felt a weight lift: Never again will I depend on America's greeting card manufacturers...
