This open-bathtub policy should be instituted at the highest levels of power as a general Harvard policy. Perhaps individual residents of suites with bathtubs could be allowed to reserve certain popular times, such as 9 to 10 in the morning, for use only by residents of the suites. However, outside of those times, their selfishness and arrogance should be curtailed. Residents of bathtubless houses should be able to use anyone's bathtub (even if it is already overcrowded at the time), any time, night...

...American people at the time of his election. I think in the case of Theodore Roosevelt, the new young president (he was the youngest we've ever had, by the way) embodied the intoxicating feeling at the turn of the century that America had at last become a world power.

...angst. When the New Beetle was unveiled in 1998, the cough-drop-on-wheels was touted as the ultimate antidote to the ennui of the under-40 crowd. It was deja vu all over again: here was the "Love Bug," the charmingly rotund little symbol of all things flower-power, updated for the era of power-lunches. The folks at Volkswagen hoped to invoke the freewheeling Age of Aquarius (when most yuppies were too young or to stoned to care), making every yupster on the planet nostalgic for their childhood daze free of micromanagement.
