...Adams will survive, no matter who lives there. All Adams residents may not want to participate in these activities.

So although I've put romance on my "to-do" list for 1998 and not a moment before, faced with this amatory outbreak, aided and abetted by the media, I've had no choice--as a pundit who aspires to be above all, relevant--but to consider contemporary romantic relationships...
