...given that a B means a student showed up for class most days, is to get straight As. In the humanities, such a feat entails making friends with the TF, going to the professor’s office hours and doing all the reading. It’s not pleasant, but the path is clear and there are many factors that contribute to the final grade. In science classes, which give numbers for grades on the midterms and finals, the only way to ensure that A is to collect the requisite number of points. Of course, no one knows that...
Tierney’s trip itself was a pleasant break from studying, but parking the van in the incredibly awkward lot near Lesley College is the day’s most daunting task. PBHA policy dictates that when someone is backing up, someone else must always get out of the car and signal to the driver. Griffin dutifully pops out of the van. “Don’t let me hit anything, Steve,” she pleads as the van nearly brushes the van next to it. He laughs from the outside, puzzling over the geometry...

All Klein knows is that the goings-on resemble a vision his late wife had just before succumbing to a brain tumor...

Then we'd see how often those blackouts occurred - and what happened during them...
...GIGOT 18 Cornelia Street (212-627-3737). This pleasant bistro recalls the Greenwich Village of the 1950s. Proprietor Pamela Decaire's staff is friendly, and the simple decor is an American's idea of what a French bistro should look like, including a Dubonnet poster and caricatures of chefs at work. Le Gigot is the place to bring the business associate who craves informality...
