Suddenly, the fire alarm began its high caterwauling screech. An instant later, we, the Luau crew, protected from the elements only by aloha shirts, shorts, slippers, and a few layers of delicate flower leis, were asked to leave the building and brave the 20 degree weather. We trembled outside for about a half an hour, waiting for the fire department. The conversation drifted quickly from the initial euphoria of the success of the luau to how much we missed home and why the heck we were in Boston in the first place.

...shortly after returning from spring break that D. was summoned to trial one fine morning. Noticing that her mailbox was full, she smiled with delight at the thought of the countless J. Crew catalogues eagerly awaiting her perusal. D. finally managed to pry open the mailbox after running through several dozen possible lock combinations (having forgotten hers), only to be bitterly disappointed by the usual array of phone bills and overdue library fines.

Last week's terse, 70-page report of the Marine inquiry into the Feb. 3 Italian ski-lift tragedy blamed the jet fighter's crew for the deaths of 20 people. But a closer read yields an interesting discrepancy. On the one hand, the flight of the EA-6B PROWLER was described as a hair-raising ride, in which the plane flew too low and too fast until the collision. On the other was the description of crew members, whom colleagues and commanders praised for their flying skills and professionalism. And all the 35 EA-6B flyers interviewed said they...
