Others skipped the bridge entirely. They drove to the 21st century on the ground below--driving to work, driving their kids to soccer practice, driving to Blockbuster to rent "Titanic," driving to Barnes and Noble to buy "A Civil Action" and "Cold Mountain." Every so often these people snuck a glance up at the bridge to nowhere; after all, the ugly, low-hanging structure (which they were paying for) cast a heinous shadow over their idyllic suburban landscapes, insulting their aesthetic sensibilities and corrupting their children. And it paid to look up occasionally, if only to make sure you weren...
This year my vacation excitement was squashed even before I even got home. I snuck away within minutes of my last section, speeding off to the Delta Shuttle at Logan. A friendly businessman seated next to me struck up a conversation. Correctly identifying me as a college student, he asked the usual questions, including whether I was happy to be done with my exams.

...sweet, seductive purr of joyful music and the dark, cruel snarl of painful obsessions. Remember "Lovefool," the song from a couple of years ago that burst off the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack and was suddenly, like the fixated ex-lover it depicted, lurking stubbornly everywhere you looked? Few songs have snuck a more subversive view of love into the frivolous dance arena of top 40 radio. You'd scarcely realize from the jubilant disco drums and the syncopated keyboard touches that the song was actually about wretched abjection, the ways we degrade ourselves for love. Lead singer Nina Persson might have...
