...Australian babysitter was to arrive. She knew that the babysitter would knock at her door, get no response, that she would knock on the door of the apartment below and that the tenant below would come to her aid. What Sylvia did not count on was that the neighbor's bedroom was directly below her kitchen and that the fumes would descend into his apartment and knock...
...most other routine offenders. Confronted with a case involving a clattering air conditioner, Cosimo Caccavari, the city's top acoustician, asked the owner to draw a floor plan of his house. Then Caccavari suggested moving the air conditioner to another location where it would not face any near neighbor.

He also proved to officials of an excavating company that the vibrant rat-tat-tat of their pneumatic drills could be muffled...

When a poem looks only like a carefully written sentence chopped up into verses, it's clearly written with a misunderstanding of what makes poetry. "The Unknown Neighbor" is an effectively elegaic recollection with an unnecessary...
Princeton rolled up nearly 500 yards total offense on mediocre Rutgers but still lost to the Knights for the third time in four years, 33-18. Brown, with its best backfield since the late '50's, was embarrassed by weak neighbor Rhode Island, 35-21--only the eighth time that has happened in 57 years. Columbia's best team since 1961 was shut out by Lafayette, 3-0. And so it went. Plus ca change, plus c'cst la meme chose...
