...irrelevant and mandatory counseling redundant, especially when one considers the boom in voluntary counseling. At a convention in Washington, "Smart Marriages, Happy Families," therapists from around the world gathered to share findings and techniques. Some events, like the lecture on "Hot Monogamy," were reminiscent of a Reader's Digest article. Other ideas, such as church-based programs that ask engaged couples to fill out marital "inventories," seemed promisingly pragmatic. The present is always struggling against the past. Much as the laid-back breakups of 20 years ago arose from the hard-bitten marriages of an earlier time, the current soul...
Combs: I don't have no problem with that. I think kids shouldn't be able to listen to some of these albums till their minds are fully developed and ready to digest an album with certain realities on there.

You might accuse me of having some kind of compensatory agenda, like an ex-communist swung drastically to the right...
...object to having done all this work. Writing papers is, of course, one of the prime ways we digest information and ideas, and I even find it (at times) enjoyable. What does perturb me is the isolated, dead-end nature of the writing process here at Harvard. Paper-writing, rather than serving as an integral part of the learning process, all too often becomes something we do on our own, late at night, hunched in front of our computers, with one overriding goal: to just get it done. If my work habits fall toward the middle of the spectrum, this...
