Teenagers seem especially drawn to the waves. In the Eastern Surfing Association, an East Coast club based in Rhode Island with 6,000 members, the average age is 17, down from 21 five years ago. E.S.A. Executive Director Colin Couture believes that young people flock to the beaches because they are tired of highly regimented school sports. Says Couture: "In surfing, it's between you and the wave." Couture, who has persuaded the Boy Scouts in California, New Jersey and Florida to sponsor surfing programs, thinks the image of the sport has improved and is thus attracting more participants.

This phenomenon is best described as power-beaching. To make the correct impression at a well-populated Vineyard beach, you must bring...
...partner in the modest-size Los Angeles firm of Sachs & Phelps. "You pay in quality of life." Hard work has always been a hallmark of the legal profession, and the reservoirs of public sympathy for well-paid attorneys are no doubt a trifle shallow. But even soaring salaries can seem a poor return for years spent on the assembly line of the law. The result: some large firms now commonly lose up to one-half of their associates. On Wall Street, for instance, many defect to investment banking, a field that lets them shape the deals they would merely flyspeck...
