There has always been a trickle of Americans who have exploited such price differentials. In the past, however, the crowds were smaller and younger. Now the crush consists largely of seniors who have the time to travel and the incentive to save. There are 36 million elderly Americans, and many are being squeezed between rising drug costs (which have jumped as much as 50% for the most popular prescriptions in the past five years) and the limits of Medicare (which does not reimburse for medication). After making a few calculations to factor in the cost of lodging and gasoline, they...
...Philadelphia, Henri's worldly, rebellious, effusive nature made him a magnet to younger artists, most of whom worked as illustrators for the Philadelphia press--Sloan, Glackens, Shinn and Luks. They drank together, had long poker sessions, bellowed poetry at one another and argued late into the night. Sloan recalled 50 years later that Henri was "a catalyst, an enthusiast ... with the pioneer's contempt for cant and aestheticism."

...strong sense of the fleeting moment in which people are caught unawares--arguments on the fire escape, a woman pegging out the wash, lovers furtively embracing on the tenement roof. And though his vision was less flamboyant than Henri's or Bellows', he clearly had a deep effect on younger painters like Reginald Marsh and Hopper. His moments of voyeuristic detachment were amplified in Hopper's glimpses of disconnected urban souls seen through windows.

There is some evidence against David's notion that in the eyes of younger people everyone born before the Inchon landing melds together into a single blob of undifferentiated old coot. There is, for instance, my favorite theory about why Ronald Reagan, the most successful oldie-but-goodie candidate in recent times, did so poorly in the Iowa caucuses in 1980, compared with 1976--a theory quickly forgotten after he reclaimed his microphone and his future in New Hampshire...
...from New England. In addition, many of the communities slated for the largest increases face economic challenges that could severely compromise the high school graduation rates of their students. We will continue our aggressive high school recruiting program, and we will do even more to encourage middle school and younger students to stay in school and take challenging college preparatory courses...
