...Newell's first experiment, 71 students were asked to choose an apartment from a list of four, each with its own specific pros and cons - nasty neighbors but a friendly roommate, a low-crime neighborhood but expensive rent, in-house gym but a small living space. Only one apartment, Flat B, had an equally weighted mix of pros and cons, thus representing the best choice.

How dare we think of bailing out greedy people who bought McMansions they couldn't afford, when seniors and disabled people are losing basic necessities through no fault of their...
...hairdos and Hare Krishna chants may be dated, but Hair still looks hipper than most of its rock-musical descendants: more musically adventurous than Rent, less narratively conventional than In the Heights. Watching a group of artists breaking loose, adapting an art form to reflect the times and pursuing the dream that those times might change as a result is inspiring in any era. Today Hair seems, if anything, more daring than ever...
