...folks prancing on stage at the Rocky Horror Picture Show each week have power over their audience because they take no risks and reveal nothing of themselves. Their costumes can never change, and even their hand movements and nervous tics are choreographed. On Friday night at midnight the weekday working stiff is temporarily absolved of all responsibility, hidden behind a satin and greasepaint shell...
Although you may be among the single-minded masses devoting yourself only to academics, a squash player's job is never done. Throughout vacation and into reading period, the team has maintained its schedule of weekday practices and weekend tournaments, and have attained some notable successes...
Simmons' weekday show is a chattery potpourri of exercise ("Tuck in those tushies, girls!"), diet tips ("Peanuts will make you full!") and cheery behavior-mod patter. His Never-Say-Diet Book is No. 1 on the New York Times's bestseller list, where it has been lodged for 38 weeks.

Each operator sits in front of a long bank of flashing lights and colored buttons, wearing a clip-on earphone and a near-invisible, transparent, cable mouthpiece that keeps her hands free. When a call comes in, the console emits a faint beep and the operator answers it with the press of a button...
