...first time students have accused Mount Bachelor of abuse, nor is Mount Bachelor the only such program to face allegations of mistreatment. Similar allegations of abuse were documented by the Government Accountability Office for numerous programs in 2007 and 2008, when the agency investigated the troubled-teen industry at the behest of California Congressman George Miller...
...outfit was tighter, the choruses were clearer, and most importantly, you could hear every pseudoliterate word leader Hutch Harris had to wail about. Lyrics painted a vague portrait of self-righteous rage and apocalyptic rebellion; Harris’s was the language of inarticulate teen angst projected on a romantically nihilistic worldview.

Holding this mirage together requires an authenticity on the part of Cyrus and a careful balancing act on the part of her team. Cyrus keeps up her end pretty well. She's a regular, gum-snapping teen - not too polite, mature or articulate. ("I feel a little bit like, you know, um, there's a professional side of me, you know, but mostly I feel like I'm pretty much myself all the time, I think.") She talks evenly in her husky voice about how, like Job, she's set up for trying to be good, then does a spot...
