...course, like any investment in insurance, life care may or may not pay off financially. If residents die within a short time without receiving much nursing care, they do not get full value from their entry fees. Because of this potential unfairness, many communities offer at least partial refunds to the families of the deceased. At North Hill, an upscale community in Needham, Mass., entry fees start at an unusually high $102,000 for a studio and run up to $251,000 for a three-bedroom apartment. But members or their heirs receive a 90% refund of the payment upon...
...answer, as it happens, is none of the above. No one, however, has asked for a refund, for Zeffirelli's vision is as vivid as ever. In addition to Soprano Eva Marton as Princess Turandot, Tenor Placido Domingo as Calaf, her suitor, and the other principals, there are 286 singers and supernumeraries. By comparison, Zeffirelli's Boheme at its most gargantuan fielded a cast of merely 280. Much of the Turandot scenery was shipped from Italy in eleven cargo containers, each 40 ft. long. There are 300 costumes, and the headgear alone uses 44 lbs. of pearls, golf balls, chandelier...

For millions of Americans, that may be a small enough price to pay to escape the tribulation of dealing with a four-page...
...reasons we moved to the co-op. Those who live in Jordan J and K pay the regular room fee, but instead of the outrageous $2036 per year everyone else has to pay, we are charged only $415 per term, and at the end of most years get a refund of around $100. For this price we get nutritious, delicious dinners six nights a week, a brunch on Sunday, home-made bread and granola, and everything anyone wants for breakfast and lunch is kept in stock. Meat is served a few times a week, and even our committed carnivores rarely...
...wearily. Even when they speak up and get their money back, consumers often come away with a feeling of being abused. Earlier this month, when a Los Angeles homemaker took back a foul-smelling piece of fish to a supermarket on the city's west side, she got a refund only after answering brusque questions and signing papers. At no time did anybody apologize or give the slightest sign that they regretted spoiling her dinner...
