...subterranean path filled with beautiful murals was nearly impossible. After asking for directions, Flyby finally found the two-room gym, which is in the house's basement nearby the Mt. Auburn Street entrance. While Adams' is the only house reviewed today that split its cardio and weightlifting equipment, the layout failed to give this prison-like gym a sense of space. Instead, it felt hot and cramped...
...consensus among students patiently waiting in line was that a new layout in FlyBy's interior is to blame for the lengthy lines. "It's definitely the fact that they've changed the stuff around," says Fabian A. Poliak '11. According to him FlyBy has replaced its handy milk and juice cartons (a la elementary school) with a proper drinks dispenser. This forces students to take extra time inside to prepare their drinks as well as juggle an extra component to carry. And as usual, mandatory ID swiping causes an unavoidable delay as students dig through their bags...
...layout is also smarter. "You can kind of guess where everything is going to be," says Sharon Tilotta, 73, a shopper in the West Deptford store.

One elderly shopper complained about a shortage of benches in the store (she needed a rest). Another had a more esoteric, yet legitimate, gripe. "Their meat is leaky," says Jeff...
Italy's press has always been written by and for the intellectual élite, says Paolo Mancini, a professor of the sociology of communications at the University of Perugia. The culture pages of the major dailies have the air of an academic journal. Graphics and layout are dense and often confusing. Photos are usually portraits of the same tired faces. When political news breaks, the front pages can feature as many as five articles on the subject by leading journalists providing individual takes. Yet context or background is rarely provided. "The reader of the printed press already knows what...
