...bunch of middle-aged industry veterans, but satisfyingly appropriate when you consider their enduring drive to crank out solid '60s-era rock 'n roll when their closest contemporaries have gone adult contemporary. "Free Girl Now," is a pounding emancipatory salute that, along with the similarly triumphant "Swingin'," and "Room At The Top" showcases the band's "screw 'em" mentality as well as its ever-mature capacity for tight, anthemic bite. Petty's musical roots show gleefully through the Byrdsian "Accused of Love" and the jangly, warm-weather "Won't Last Long." His bittersweet vocals melt heartbreakingly in ballads like "Lonesome...
...from its pleasant atmosphere and consistently excellent food, Trattoria Pulcinella boasts the additional advantage of proximity. The restaurant's warm, rustic interior is cozy on slower nights but can become cramped as the oilcloth-topped tables are filled with people.

Raptors find too many easy marks, too many undergraduates who never sense who follow them, who stalk them down to the laundry room; raptors who know how little undergraduates suspect their fellow students, their friends. Above all, the game alerts its players to betrayal by someone known to them. Detecting betrayal, or at least discerning its possibility, makes for painful, wearisome learning, but given what I know of undergraduate life in my 25 years...
