Well, guess what? My first lab report was seven pages long, single-spaced, and was accompanied by two illustrations done completely on the computer. Who needs hand-drawn figures when you can include high-resolution vector graphics from Adobe Illustrator outputted in EPS format for inclusion in a PostScript document?

During the new track “Animal,” Stipe seemed almost confrontational, striding across the stage and staring straight into the eyes of the audience.
