...feet. Sugiyama takes ballroom classes at which he is pathetically inept, and it is ages before his dream girl agrees to help him (in a lovely montage scored to the Drifters' Save the Last Dance for Me). As he practices his steps--at his desk, in the subway, under a bridge in the mild rain --the zombie is revived. "Every day I feel so alive," he says. "Even being tired feels great." His rejuvenation lasts one act too many, but it has a satisfying payoff, to the tune of guess-which Rodgers and Hammerstein tune. For a beguiling summer movie...
During his junior year, Appelbaum made two 90-minute trips to suburban Burlington. After riding the subway and a bus--and walking several miles in each direction to a hunting club--he received 20 hours of training in handgun safety and maintenance. He fired some 30 rounds with a shotgun en route to receiving NRA certification...
Spring break comes, and a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of fun and sun; our trip to Acapulco and Mexico City did not disappoint, even though I had my wallet stolen on a Mexico City subway platform and even though our form--with the key exception of senior co-captain Ed Boyda--was unexceptional.

The setup: a Japanese-American high school basketball player falls in love with a rival African-American player. Complication No. 1: Both are girls. Complication No. 2: Their single parents (one's dad and the other's mom) fall for each other too. Revoyr's great accomplishment is that her story is never strained. It beats with the pulse of life...
...another where nourishment is promised. At a moment of crisis, when people most need supernatural assistance, all they find are hollow temples given to worldly pursuits. And so these poor souls fall into the hands of some charismatic, self-appointed guru and end up gassing Tokyo's subway, forcing suicides on hundreds in Guyana or trying to escape in a UFO. If organized religion does not serve the purpose for which it was established, isn't it time that it was renewed and rethought? MIGUEL A. SALABARRIA Salamanca, Spain...
