...success? Landmark lacks est's showcase celebrity following, but its programs are not as costly (tuition is down some 50% from Erhard days); they are not as lengthy (the basic course was originally spread over two weekends); and--most important--they are less in-your-face, nearly devoid of the shouting and door monitoring imposed by est's stern trainers. Says a former estie who attended a 1997 Forum: "est was much more militant. You had to have a doctor's note just to go to the bathroom. People humiliated themselves for it. est tried to break you.

Nonetheless, any attempt to find solutions to our current predicament in Amistad will only further mire us in useless guilt and silly symbolic gestures. The only legitimate lesson that weepy moviegoers should take away from this holiday season is this: Beware unsinkable ships...
...Shops" program represents a questionable allocation of time and energy. Every police department must prioritize the fulfillment of its duties. While the "Cops in Shops" program does represent the enforcement of a legitimate, though misguided, law, it is inappropriate in its use of resources. Cambridge is far from devoid of violent crime. Officers would better serve the community strolling ill-lit Linden Street late at night rather than playing clerk behind the cash-register at Christy's waiting for an 8-year-old to try to buy beer...
