Even our outfits were coordinated nightly. The a cappella jam you'll experience orientation week was deemed "a black tank top" affair. We collectively agreed to wear khakis to a mixer on the Widener steps. When the annual showing of Love Story was giddily dubbed "skirt night," even I went along with...
Foreign investors, including Canadians, think the U.S. economy "is where the action is," says Michael McCracken, chairman of Informetrica, an economics think tank based in Ottawa.

John Schmitt of the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank in Washington, puts the average American vacation at 16 days. If not for their higher unemployment rate, the Europeans would be laughing at us. Anyone who travels has noticed that whether you go to Palm Springs or Timbuktu, the French and Italians are already there. You could parachute onto an ice floe in the Arctic Ocean and find 200 Germans lounging around talking about where to go next...
