This mentality was illustrated beautifully in last week's Independent, whose cover featured a smiling graduate holding her diploma, whose face became a mask of horror when she turned to the real world and realized she had to find a job.

Hail to Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez for following their instincts and not the usual commercial formula. AMANDA STEAD GHIO Warren, Conn...
