...human existence. In one of the rambling monologues that give the 1960s play and movie its enduring appeal, Murray (played by Jason Robards) reveals the mystic power of a simple three-word sentence. I can hear Robards' gravelly voice as he declares, "I could run up on the roof right now and holler, 'I am sorry,' and half a million people would holler right back, 'That's O.K., just see that you don't do it again...
...theater, a remarkable replica of Shakespeare's original "wooden O." Located on the south bank of the Thames only a tuppence's throw from the site of the original, the new Globe is relentlessly authentic, from its brick plinth foundation and English oak beams right up to its thatched roof, which opens to the sky, and maybe the rain, in the center. But the Globe is more than just the ultimate theme park for Shakespeare fanatics. It is also the arena for a fresh and fascinating style of Shakespeare performance...
While Jarrell was the most disastrously affected, tornadoes struck a wide area from Waco to hill country south of Austin. Elsewhere, however, the destruction in the path of the storm, which led to three other deaths, seemed almost whimsical. The roof was ripped off a supermarket in Cedar Park, but when shoppers who had taken refuge in the freezer section emerged, they saw apples and melons still neatly stacked in the produce department.

Student personalities and identities are multifaceted and while randomization may create more colorful house life, it does not address the more fundamental issues of diversity. It does not address the underlying problems that have historically caused first-years to choose to live in "undiverse" houses and undiverse rooming groups. The goal of randomization is that each house should have the "right" breakdown of different groups represented...
What's more, RVs aren't the difficult-to-maneuver, hideous-to-look-at, cramped behemoths they once were. O.K., most are still resolutely unstylish, but virtually all have power steering, power brakes and automatic transmission. Some carry a rearview TV camera on the roof with a monitor on the dashboard to make parking a cinch. Fleetwood Enterprises' Bounder, the best-selling motor home in America, has a computer stand and prewiring for a satellite dish as standard features. There's more home in them too, with options for queen-size beds, glass showers, bathtubs, washer-dryers, TVs, VCRs, solar...
