...Washers and dryers are in high demand at peak hours, like Sunday afternoon and Thursday night. Students, overwhelmed by pressing commitments, naturally want to load and leave as quickly as possible. So, with all machines “in use,” it’s tempting to drag others’ clothes haphazardly from washers as soon as they stop spinning, and throw them out of the way. It takes only an extra 30 seconds to remove the load carefully, instead of dumping piles of dripping pants, underwear and towels onto a dust covered countertop (losing a sock...
With all the anguish thataccompanies most debates about teenage pregnancy, it's fun to meet a girl for whom being pregnant is a) kind of, like, a huge drag but also weirdly interesting and b) a chance to, you know, find some folks who want a baby and hand one over.

...Pudding’s donations over the past five years total $60,000 and have been used to subsidize tickets for over 4,000 Cambridge students.

...movements, most French voters firmly back Sarkozy in this clash with unions. After all, he was elected on an overt promise of sweeping change, giving him greater reformist legitimacy than his more cautious predecessors. Despite the disruption that the recent strikes have caused - and the prospect that they will drag on - polls show Sarkozy holding steady with a 55% approval rating. Yet a further test of will comes on Nov. 20, when hundreds of thousands of state employees are scheduled to protest over 22,000 public-sector job cuts slated for 2008. And more antireform demonstrations will follow. But Sarkozy...
