Braving the sort of cold Cambridge rain our group has grown accustomed to, we met in the oak-panelled Dunster House dining hall for Sunday brunch. Our gathering was of old comrades, one of whom had recently returned from adventures on the Continent, and another of whom had trekked to the river's edge from distant Cabot House. Over cerebral, though spirited conversation, we prepared a tasty meal of robust proportions from food ordinarily available on the salad bar. Desirous of exploiting the fresh ingredients provisioned by the helpful corps of dining hall staff, we selected simple comestibles. Each recipe...
...author of Wuthering Heights proud. In the world portrayed by Campion, the characters have no defense against the passions that threaten to overtake them. They are foreigners transplanted to a strange new land where the senses rule. Life is overpowering here: the sea is wilder than in England, the rain more forceful and abundant.

In fact, Freud erected an apparently invulnerable umbrella against criticisms of psychoanalytical principles. He characterized such disagreements, from patients or anyone else, as "resistance" and then asserted that instances of such resistance amounted to "actual evidence in favor of the correctness" of his assertions. For a long time, this psychoanalytic Catch-22 worked wonders: those who opposed the methods put forth to heal them and others could be banished, perhaps with a friendly handshake and a knowing...
Jeffrey Swartz says Timberland will continue to stress its down-to-earth image. "There are times when our brand will be fashionable, and there are times when it won't be," he says. "But even when our brand is fashionable, it's still going to rain, and even when our brand is not fashionable, it's still going to be cold." Clearly not out in the rain or cold: the Swartz family, whose stock is worth $489 million...
