Second, I would like to correct a quote which states, "The lesbian community has outgrown [Seventh Sense]." The implication of this comment is completely inaccurate: Seventh Sense is not a lesbian group. Seventh Sense is a confidential, women's discussion group about issues of sexual orientation, and its motto has always been "no assumptions (about anyone's sexual orientation)." The article would have done well to take that advice, as illustrated by the mistaken paraphrasing in the quotation above. Obviously, Seventh Sense has very specific goals which do not satisfy, nor were they intended to satsify, the needs...
There's the heart of the problem. The Coop has wandered from it original mission, proclaimed by its motto "Serving the Academic Community Since 1882," and has tried to sell in the high-profit, highly competitive Boston retail market, for which the Coop is ill-suited.

...today what you can do tomorrow" has long been the motto of many baby boomers. Until, that is, the biological clock began its inexorable countdown. Today even some of the most committed postponers of parenthood are finally deciding to have children, producing a record crop of late-in-life babies.

When I lived there, the tension built into its attempt to become the City Too Busy to Hate was apparent. Although what it had to sell was its connection to the South, its national ambitions called for a constant struggle to escape...
...such advantages. But, with the Democratic Convention finally about to bring what they see as certification of Atlanta as a national city, they also have the next stage to worry about: becoming an international city. Actually, there was a period about ten years ago when Atlanta featured as its motto the World's Next Great City, but, an advertising man who had to work with the motto told me, "it had a credibility problem. If you told someone in some place like New York that Atlanta was the World's Next Great City, he'd say, 'Hey, gimme a break...
