...parts where it differs from less pretentious periodicals. The same was true of similar magazines formerly published in Cambridge. Few read them, and they soon died. The reason is not hard to find. The thoughts of very young men are usually crude, and to every one but themselves almost worthless; besides, it is hard to find more than half a dozen interested in the same subject at once.

Some of the music for Counting Crows' songs--such as "Goodnight Elizabeth"--is as simple as four chords, yet he says that what the band...
...explains, the old artificial limb was a cultural misfit not just for Indians but for people in most developing countries. "We sit, eat, sleep and worship on the floor--all without shoes," he says. Also, the "shoe" attached to the old limb was made of heavy sponge, making it worthless for any farmer working in the rain or in irrigated paddies...
