...unhappiness isn't the only ramification of our accelerated growth cycle. What happens when we hit retirement, at age 40? We can try to relive our glorious twenties. Buy a nicer car, nicer house, nicer jet... But creaky bones and kids will get in the way of the monthly bungee jump. The dream of living a second, more exciting life post-financial sector seems impractical. At the age of 21 you chose the safe route to Wall Street. Is it plausible to assume that this same person will choose the adventurous path when they have a spouse, a mortgage...
...time to realize that this Great Leap Quadward, with its glorious rationalization of society and shuttle times, has failed as miserably as backyard iron smelters. Although the schedule has fixed some mid-day shuttle droughts, Quadlings' convenience would best be served by reverting to the greater number of shuttles at hard-to-remember but useful times rather than maintaining the revised schedule. The next time (and hopefully it will be soon) that the council and House Committees lobby to change the shuttle schedule, we hope that it will consult more of the actual students affected.

...Sydney was so good, though, that even some of the marginal sports had glorious moments. No one cares about Olympic tennis, but Wednesday's finals in the women's singles and men's doubles looked to be compelling and I went out to watch. Venus Williams won again, so this year she won Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and the Olympics. That's a pretty good trifecta. In the men's doubles it was the Woodies' swan song. Aussies Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge were dissolving their partnership after a decade in which they won everything - all four Slams, Wimbledon...
...after each world record was rewritten. "I still feel like I am dreaming," she said after her 100-m freestyle victory. "It's a big cloud I am on." The question surrounding what the Dutchwoman might be on remained a dark cloud over the aquatic center despite eight glorious days of competition. "I absolutely do not think this is a drug-free Olympics," said U.S. women's coach Richard Quick. "I am not pointing the finger at anybody or any nation here. I'm going on intuition...
Admit it, you snickered when you first heard that women would be weight lifting in these Olympics. You imagined huge hairy-chested Belarussians with no teeth who built up muscle from pushing a handheld stump-jump plough. But I have seen this sport and, reader, it is glorious. This is the kind of sport for which the Olympics were invented...
