Another student adds, "The quality of the food is never that good. It seems like almost everyday there's some form of chicken. Its obvious that whatever was served the night before is transformed into the next day's entree. Beef tips one day, beef stew the next...
...Adler. "Rock 'n' roll was about attitude, rebellion, a big beat, sex and, sometimes, social comment. If that's what you're looking for now, you're going to find it here." The basic sound, propelled by a slamming polyrhythmic beat, is loud and raw.

The haphazard use of experimental...
...poll for TIME and CNN by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman found this sense especially acute among women in two-income families: 73% of the women complain of having too little leisure, as do 51% of the men. Such figures produce no end of questions for sociologists, and everyone else, to stew over. Why do we work so hard? Why do we have so little time to spare? What does this do to us and our children? And what would we give up in order to live a little more peaceably...
