...camerawork and set design are an unpredictable mix of slick sophistication and base grittiness. Main characters are perpetually dressed in impeccable Armani suits, the background music is of epic quality, and the plotlines are complex and multi-layered. At the same time, the aforementioned campiness has a tendency to descend to an almost amateurish level. The opening sequence, which hasn't changed since the show began, looks like it was pasted together in a high school video class, and the technical crew is never going to win any awards for incredible special effects. But instead of detracting from the show...
September is a month of change in Boston. Leaves change colors, the Red Sox choke, and teenagers from across the nation and the world descend upon the Commonwealth in search of higher education, becoming an economic force to be reckoned with. No one is more aware of this than local radio stations, which go to great lengths to seduce this mass of purchasing power.

The laggard normally drops into place in the child's first year of life, though surgery is sometimes needed to help it along...
...Island should have been off to the right. Kennedy banked the plane, quickly passed the island and found himself, at last, over utterly open ocean. It was at this moment, according to radar records, that the plane, which had been holding steady at 5,600 ft., suddenly began to descend at about 700 ft. per min. That's not emergency speed for this single-engine aircraft, but it is quicker than normal...
