This summer, as I scuttled around New Zealand, a victim of Let's Go exploitation, I did some thinking. I was all alone, bitter and so bored that I watched my laptop's graphics demo five times. A low-key break from civilization turned into a personal hell when I realized who I was stuck with--me. The sound of my voice in my head drove me insane as I'd crank through the same set of self-examining questions. Over and over. I would even dictate impassioned editor's notes (like this) in my head.

...course, none of the student groups clamoring for new recruits in Tercentenary Theatre at Monday's activity fair would admit as much. In fact, most go out of their way to stress what a low-key, unstructured organization they...
They established the Innocence Project in 1991 as a clinic for students at Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where Scheck has taught for more than 20 years. The clinic is a low-key place, hidden away on the 11th floor of an office building on lower Fifth Avenue. Law students hunched up in cubicles pore over case files and draft legal motions.

...bombing. Although air strikes on Iraq hardly make the paper any longer, let alone the front page, the U.S. and Britain have fired 1,100 missiles at 359 targets this year alone (and flown about 65 percent of the number of missions carried out during the Kosovo conflict). The low-key air war, which followed four days of intense bombing in response to a showdown on arms control last December, has failed to alter the strategic equation in Iraq. With Iraq?s leaders and its anti-aircraft gunners as defiant as ever, the administration is now debating whether...
