...would never suggest that Handler and others like her should compromise their comic sensibilities. While the E!

...York, a city of Islands and rivers, has almost no accessible waterfront. Highways line Manhattan's riverbanks. Frontage real estate in Brooklyn and Queens - which comprise the bulbous western end of Long Island - is largely postindustrial wasteland.

...weekends, the rooming group might wander around the back of MIT and walk along the railroad tracks, throw rocks through the windows.

Vietnam was over, but lighter protests died hard: hot breakfast was gone due to budget cuts...

Every cancellation and re-schedule had been my fault, because of lab, section, rehearsal, or work. This type of social avoidance and excuse making is distressingly common...
