...this was bad; worse, or at least more “emblematic,” than a closet full of band T-shirts, worse even than monkeying with the playlist at a party, or browsing for BAPE hoodies on eBay, or posting cruelties to open lists, or leaving gratuitous et ceteras at the end of every sentence...

...marks, as I liked my schoolwork. I did well on the SATs. I participated in a number of extracurriculars.

I nearly failed chemistry and the gym class of drown-proofing fame. I had a mild problem with authority and a real problem with truancy...

Broadway smash Wicked posits that the Wicked Witch of the West was misunderstood. This fall Disney (et tu, Mickey?) releases Enchanted, in which a princess (Amy Adams) is magically banished by an evil queen to modern New York City, where she must fend for herself, parodying her princess foremothers as she goes. (Snow White's Whistle While You Work scene is re-enacted with vermin and roaches...

...that unflattering - and undeserved - image is now changing. As a natural resource with unique, health-boosting properties, seaweed is showing up in an increasing variety of products as companies find new ways to market the renewable marine resource. At its ultramodern factory in Brest, France, the laboratory company Science et Mer recently launched its own line of seaweed-based skin creams based on purported anti-aging agents in a certain blue micro-alga. Currently, some 100 firms in Brittany now base their business on seaweed, harvesting more than 100,000 tons a year. While seaweed is a dietary staple...
