...many benefits bestowed upon Quadlings by the powers-that-be in Mass Hall. They don't know about Sunday night milk and cookies (a legendary and lofty Radcliffe tradition), Ice Walls, Floyd's Soho Grille, Nick's Beef 'n' Beer, the Starship Enterprise Dining Hall, not to mention McDonalds, Popeye's Fried Chicken, White Hen Pantry, and the rest of the stores along Mass...
...from England, spoke for all the Games' odd fellows when he declared, "To have jumped and still be alive -- it's a thrill." As if Edwards were the grand Finn Matti Nykanen himself, the Brit writers have claimed Eddie as their new knight of the woeful countenance (not to mention feeble eyesight and flapping elbows).

No matter how furiously they pedal their Exercycles, no matter how earnestly they chomp through their radicchio or how desperately they try to drown their anxieties in wine coolers, the yups cannot escape this terrible fact: procreation is the enemy of recreation. Not to mention carefree getting and spending. Recently we have seen one mini-hit (Baby Boom) and one maxi-hit (3 Men and a Baby) offering implausibly sentimental reassurances that there is life after surrogate parenthood. Now comes that prolific chronicler of youthful crises, John Hughes, bringing a similar message with...
