...impressive numbers lies a social revolution more profound than any ever seen in the Western world. Hundreds of millions of people once anchored by the certainties of guaranteed jobs and social services for life are now being cast adrift to fend for themselves in the turbulent waters of the market economy. "By closing down thousands of state enterprises that were losing money, China is creating unemployment on a scale never seen before anywhere in the world," says TIME correspondent William Dowell. "That creates an enormous threat of social instability, which makes the government very insecure about its ability to hold...
...none of these circumstances applies to our friend. Incapacitated? Well, she can't really walk so well, but I don't really see that mild disability keeping her out of the job market. Discriminated against? No, nothing there, either. About the only possibility is her gender, but that is generally an upper-management prejudice--and I can't envision her having bumped into any glass ceilings in the recent past. And finally, on the subject of recent past, she has been at her stoop for most of it. Since I began attending this university, she has sat atop her milk...
...welcome the lower rates as an important way to help Harvard's geographically far-flung student body keep in touch with people at home, but we also know that the highly competitive phone market can still do us better.

Boston is full of cheesy comedy acts and sketchy nightclubs, but the most famous comedy club is in Faneuil Hall at the Comedy Connection (245 Quincy Market Bldg.; T: Gov't Center; 248-9700; Monday to Wednesday 8 p.m., Thursday 8:30 p.m., Friday to Saturday 8 p.m. and 10:15 p.m.; $10; 18+). National acts and Saturday Night Live characters abound at this touristy locale, but the raunchy R-rated Hypnotist (Thursday 8:30 p.m.) is the guy that...
...easy first step is to escape the madness of Harvard. Make the hike to Mt. Auburn Cemetery (580 Mt. Auburn St., across from Star Market; 547-7105 for directions; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.) where acres of peaceful nooks and quiet crannies await. It's a.m.erica's oldest garden cemetery. 10 miles of tree-lined roads and cool birdwatching spots encourage reflection and spiritual repair...
