...home from dinner with friends several weeks ago when she decided to call a friend on her Sprint PCS portable cell phone. She was still dialing as she went through an intersection and plowed into a parked Ford Explorer, totaling her own Acura Integra.

...obvious, the sort of advice your mother gives you on the phone while you are ignoring her and checking your e-mail instead. You may think you have "no time," since as Harvard students we allow all our tasks to expand and fill the time available.

Sure, the cool guys in the neighborhood, guys like Big, with a shaved head, gaunt face and sneering upper lip, drop into Jacky's once in a while to score some drugs. Or they'll buy a couple of tablets from Bing's mother, who deals. But they tell you they're different from Bing and the hard-core users. "For one thing," Big alibies, "Bing's selfish. That...
