...ever vacationed with bored and antsy teenagers, you know how crucial it is to keep them happy. Coming to your rescue, resorts and cruise lines have been adding to or sprucing up their teen programs faster than Justin Timberlake switches girlfriends. The Den at Sandy Lane on Barbados is now outfitted with computers that offer Internet access, PlayStation on a big-screen TV, pool tables and a jukebox filled with Pink and Avril Lavigne. Beaches Boscobel, a resort in Jamaica, has an arcade with Sega, Xbox and PlayStation, bonfires on the beach and a teens-only disco. After braving...
...brightest—located, unsurprisingly, in the den of subtle superiority/inferiority complexes that is Adams House—was Carver Wednesdays. For months this semester, Dartboard looked forward to sneaking into the Porcellian of dining halls in the middle of each week, filling both his stomach and his heart with the help of a certain kindly HUDS employee.

Metaphorical: Smoking can represent passive surrender (one ingests the drug without a much greater expenditure of energy than an opium den denizen) or an active assertion of ego (exhaling smoke extends your "space," creates a cloud, a gentle miasma, a box around you). A cigarette is an undomesticated pet: a tiny dragon (drag-on) between the fingers, allowing you to emphasize a verbal point with a plume of smoke or, when...
...Grand WEGA is $4,000. By comparison, a 50-in. plasma set, while handsome and sleek, will run you $15,000. And rear-projection TVs have significantly slimmed down their rears, compared with older models, so you don't need a weight lifter to lug one into your den...
