...Dennis Hope of Rio Vista, Calif. He will sell you 2,000 acres of prime Mars real estate for $19.99 plus shipping and handling and $1.51 for Martian tax. In 1980 Hope informed various Earth governments that he was claiming ownership of all the land in the solar system; inasmuch as no one protested, he began selling it. So far, he has sold around 13,000 parcels on the moon and more than 1,000 on Mars. "It's a great investment for future generations," he says. Does Hope have plans to develop the apparently barren property? "Personally...

He must keep in mind that, like...
...Inasmuch as Prozac Nation sets out to make broad or generalizable points about the nature of society, the family, youth culture, politics, or whatever, it fails roundly. As the memoir of Wurtzel's troubled coming of age it might have some sort of appeal, if only a prurient and very limited one, especially to those familiar with the Harvard-specific sites of her antics. But even the interest that inheres in a peer's extravagances is undercut by the fact that Wurtzel is neither a good writer nor an appealing individual. She comes off as an irritating, solipsistic brat. Wurtzel...
