...missionaries differ in their initial reactions to Harvard, so do they report disparate experiences of their return to school after completing their missions. Finlayson found readjustment very difficult: His friends from freshman year had become seniors during his absence, and the need to concentrate on exclusively personal goals clashed with the missionary emphasis on outward-reaching aims. "Sometimes I find myself questioning the value of what I'm doing here," he admits.

Though beer drinkers like to boast of the distinctive flavor of their chosen brands, the truth is, as Donald Rice, an analyst with the investment firm of Blunt Ellis & Loewi points out, the products really do not differ from one another all that much in taste or ingredients. Most breweries focus mainly on the same group of customers, that 20% of American beer drinkers who consume eight out of every ten cans sold.
