Maybe the Harvard final clubs should charter weekend buses for overnights to Barnard. Too far? Perhaps you final club guys could arrange a package deal with the Delta Shuttle so as to spend less time on travel and more time on "business." Why limit your options to the pool of all women's colleges in Massachusetts? Oh, I almost forgot--while your free mileage may not include stops to co-ed schools, you nevertheless extend visiting privileges to their women...
Playing his funky square guitar, the seated Diddley led his band through rockabilly, Motown, and delta blues numbers with occasional Carribean and rap infusions. The mostly danceable tunes were as quirky and fun as his guitar solos. There was none of the guitar-hero intensity of the likes of Buddy Guy; Mr. Diddley had little to prove.

A likely corollary: if all that stands between you and market dominance is a rival, buy up the competition. Such bold...

From Clarksville, Mississippi, came the blues, a real, dynamic, burning-for-the-truth-to-be-told music. This spirit moved swiftly from the delta to places like Memphis, Tennessee, and Tupelo, Mississippi. Then history changed forever when a young man named Elvis took this raw, untainted music from his heart and shared it with the world. Ask Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, ZZ Top or many others which individuals influenced them, and it becomes...
