“Going
back to school after the holiday break can be rough, unless
you're one of 500 Smith College students on campus for the
January ‘Interterm.' The 44 not-for-credit courses offered
this month include ‘Invent a Hat,' a knitting class taught
by a Smith senior; ‘Supernatural/Paranormal Phenomena,' which
includes a live demonstration of telekinesis … and ‘Schmoozing
101: How to Meet, Greet and Network Effectively.'”

“It's
inconceivable that a president involved in such a quagmire
as Iraq would not suffer in the polls, even in Texas. The
body count isn't to the level of Vietnam but it's inconceivable
that soldiers' deaths wouldn't take a toll on his public rating.”

I don't think any college in the country is as well-organized

in it.”

“More
importantly, though, the all-women atmosphere has allowed
me to become more comfortable with myself. Because Smith is
an all-women's college, I spend less time working on what
I look like and more time working on schoolwork. I don't know
if I could have reached that same level of confidence at a
co-ed college, although my self-development is still a work
in progress.”

“The average size of a middle-class house was about 1,000
square feet after World War II. Now it's 1,800 or 1,900 square

more of an industry that builds on all this.”

“I
don't know if [hoarding] is more of a problem in the city
than elsewhere, but certainly the limited amount of space

coming from the mental health side of things, because many
people with this problem don't seek help. It's coming from
the housing side and services to the elderly.”
