Unfortunately, most of us will apply our less than charming Harvardian habits to our vacations. Try as we might to do everything we want to during the break, everything will not always go as planned. Most of us will return happy but exhausted (and possibly hung over), jealous that everyone else's trip was more fun and exotic than ours. A good number of us will also head into vacation with that usual chip on our shoulders, feeling that we deserve the best time possible and that we will strive to any extent...

After touring Scandinavia in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire ("I remember lots of old people falling asleep in dinner theaters," he says), Gandolfini immersed...
...your article on Wendy Shalit's new book, which promotes a return to sexual modesty for young women [THE SEXES, March 1], you said some of the statements in the book seem naive. As a 45-year-old man, I beg to differ with you. Shalit doesn't seem naive to me. She exposes the emperor as having no clothes.
