...temp at the post office six months ago and is now looking for work, pays $700 a month. As her daughter Shalonda, 10, and son Samuel, 8, play in the apartment, Harper explains that "if you venture a couple blocks away from here, you see the same bad stuff--drugs and gangs--but it's getting better. You don't feel like you're walking into danger all the time." Sam stops to tell what he likes about the new apartment: "It's got a washing machine. And a big closet...
...cover of Born in the U.S.A. As E Street Band member No. 9 in a black sleeveless undershirt and tan work pants, he moves across the stage like a camp counselor, all energy and encouragement as the group struggles to get the new songs down: "I know this stuff is hard.

JanSport offers the Pulse, which comes with a waist belt and is padded with its own cushy stuff, called Gelastic.
