...year-old girl who lives in my boarding house. She left school a few years ago to earn money for her family and is up at dawn each day doing domestic chores until late in the evening. As a Harvard student, I complain about excessive homework, the lack of social life at school and what was served in the dining hall for dinner. The disparity between livelihoods is just so unbelievably vast. Who's the adult here? And this week, with this pained awareness of the grave injustices that linger, I am returning home to my own fortuitous life...
...strange to say, has been his entire family, which, for all its calamities, has remained a family in the public view. Love or hate the Kennedys, there is no family in American history like them--not the Adamses, not the Roosevelts. They may lack the blue-blood lineage, but they have stuck together (even if the glue has sometimes been messy), have forged and sustained a civilization before our eyes. Kennedy was headed for a family wedding when he went down. When one of them goes, the ideal of family is at once injured and made intense, and, divorce statistics...

The trickier one follows the line of Long Island, then sails out over water, passing only the relative lily pad of Block...

Six weeks of playing the "lunch chick" has taught me that what I really want as a date is what I had all year--that while I knocked the dating scene with my pals and basked in Harvard's abounding singles' sarcasm I never really tested the uncharted waters myself...
...Girl," the first single, illustrates this move away from any concessions to rock. With its overtly synthesizer- and sample-based sound and relative lack of lyrics, it's not a song that will necessarily appeal to a crossover audience. By choosing it as their lead single, the Chemical Brothers are perhaps making a conscious commitment to doing it on their own terms. Certainly Surrender has other songs more immediately appealing to the casual listener. But "Hey Boy Hey Girl" is an out-and-out dance song, with an eminently catchy hook ("Hey Boy/Hey Girl/Superstar DJs/Here We Go") that launches...
