...women's diving squads have grown together and both teams are presently the champions of their leagues, Ivy for the women and Eastern Seaboard for the men.

Though England has had "day hospitals" since the 1950s, they are a relatively recent innovation in the U.S. Adult day care centers grew out of disillusionment with nursing homes, many of which are known for rising costs, all but endless waiting lists and neglect of patients.

...siding or a particular color may be selected because "it is the fashion of the neighborhood." Some house renovation, however, does result from neighborhood pressure. When people feel the neighborhood is threatened by nearby empty lots, burned buildings, abandoned cars, cratered streets and sidewalks, they become afraid of further neglect. Cajoling a negligent neighbor to repair or refurbish becomes a matter of self-defense. But much remodeling, good or bad, also is done be cause the family cannot afford to move or hates to move. Amid the anonymity of modern city life, the idea of neighborhood, particularly ethnic neighborhood...
