...simply how much money you make that contributes to satisfaction, but how much more money you make than, say, the national average. The higher your salary than the norm, the happier you tend to be. That could explain in part why populations as a whole do not experience sunnier dispositions with economic growth, since a majority of individuals may not fall above the national income average...
...overinflated salaries, players treat the game as a chore rather than an honor. The game was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum from 1950 to '72. It was then held at various stadiums before moving to Hawaii's Aloha Stadium in 1980, which gave the whole event a sunnier, more laid-back feel.

And as a portraitist of teen angst, he was a sunnier Salinger, a comedic S.E. Hinton. Anyway, Hughes was just what Hollywood needed and rarely got: somebody whose films weren't about teenagers but inside them. Almost never before had kids looking for wish fulfillment in the dark found movies that shed a little light on their own lives...
