Though often hellish for riders, New York City's subways have long been a heaven for panhandlers, who can enjoy a captive clientele of hundreds of passengers when they board a train. (Some riders, after all, are not hardened against being dunned for donations.) Because these discomforting confrontations tend to drive down ridership while increasing panhandlership, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority last year decided to enforce rules that ban begging underground as well as in other public-transport facilities...
...important that the entire College party together? The answer is guilt. With small groups having fun at different times, you can never fully enjoy yourself. You know that somewhere out there, there is a person who is studying, and you're not; and that person will get a better grade than you, get into a better law/medical/business school than you, get a higher paying job and have a better-looking spouse...

...today's computer-literate young truly do have the capacity to process images faster than their parents, they enjoy an unparalleled opportunity -- so long as they learn to process words as well.

Mohawks who live on the Canadian side enjoy less autonomy than their American counterparts. Their only attempt to launch a bingo operation was quickly shut down in 1984 by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The casinos on the U.S. side are also illegal. But that has not kept thousands of gamblers from both sides of the border away from the blackjack, roulette and baccarat tables at six gaudy gambling palaces. Since last June, federal and state law- enforcement officials have repeatedly raided casinos, confiscated cash and removed slot machines in an attempt to keep gambling within legal bounds...
