...expectations into an era of rising entitlement-a theory that was all too emphatically affirmed by looters in blacked-out New York City last week-has also been endorsed by a Boston federal judge, no less. When Jane Benduzek, 40, admitted embezzling $84,958 from Boston's South Shore National Bank, where she was a teller, Judge Frank Murray was told that she had felt "entitled" to all that loot. She used much of it to help right such "wrongs'" as the financial setbacks suffered by her brother, who has seven children, and her father, whose pension...
...Halperin is spending weeks in Cambridge studying calculus and working at the Mass General gynecological clinic. Weekends, she tries to get away, often to play baroque recorder with friends on the North Shore. Her approach she's always taken regarding academics, separating school and her life into spheres.

More than 70 ships, including many oil tankers, pass through the strait every day, to and from the southern end of the Suez Canal. Moderate Arab states bordering the Red Sea-Egypt, Sudan and Saudi Arabia-fear that the Soviet Union, already well established on the eastern side of the strait in the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, may have designs on Djibouti in a move...
...Blue Line holds the most exciting ride, roaring through a tunnel under the ocean, coming up for air by Logan Airport, and then running out along the shore to the north. Most of the stations have clever motifs--the Aquarium stop has, oddly enough, huge line shots of fish on the walls. The Airport stop has line shots of jet airplanes, and past the Airport stop the train rattles by hangars so you can get a close look at the big birds themselves...
