...come in here so often, I know almost all the cashiers by name," says Liese Schwarz '85, who estimates that her own nightly average approaches $4. Over the course of her first semester she has checked out most of the available variety, including "these horrible crustacean things with chocolate chips," apparently imploding doughnuts, and enormous Hershey bars. "For a while we were into carrots and mustard, which were only 49 cents and 59 cents, respectively," she says, "but we got tired of being holy...

It must be a comedown to go from a band with Nick Lowe and Ian Gomm named after oneself to front a band always known as "Graham Parker and the" of "Garland Jeffreys and the", but Brinsley has held up fine. The mix of his Brylcreem look and Martin Belmont's paunchy, fish-blowing-bubbles look are reflected in their complementary guitar styles, crafted pop and raunchy reggae...
