MADD and other groups are promoting nonalcoholic postprom parties for high schoolers. To prevent youngsters from slipping away for a furtive belt, the usual rule is that people who leave the party are not allowed back in. Many of the parties are planned around a feverish array of activities, all designed to keep the mind off booze. At Cherry Creek High School outside Denver, the postprom bash this year featured volleyball in the gym, water games in the pool, disco dancing, a magic show, ten video games and a makeshift casino. Free hot dogs, nachos and soft drinks were served...
Depeche Mode's rare appearance at the Orpheum a few months back was a pretty depressing affair if you weren't looking for a high school pick-up. With most of the musical action programmed into the array of synthesizers and organs, vocalist Gore was left prancing about like a second-string Rod Stewart, with material that could never approach the Rod's exquisitely terrible haunchraunch. The rest of the band was strapped to their machinery, tapping out melodies with one, two, and sometimes even three fingers. Depeche Mode gave good beat, but in a frenetic concert atmosphere pumped...
...that left them mentally impaired. Haydon, who was hailed two months ago at the time of surgery as the best implant candidate of all, has yet to be weaned from a respirator.

Should the Alvarez theory be correct, says Harvard Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, the importance of competition between species diminishes. If every so often a megablast opens up a broad array of ecological niches, then new creatures can flourish without having to crowd out the old. "If you ask the question, 'Why are we here?' " says Gould, "the answer is, 'Because the dinosaurs disappeared, not because the mammals outcompeted them...
...their ways of gauging such things. Let's say, for instance, that a new wizard of supply-side economics is received at the White House to demonstrate his theory that poverty can be eliminated simply by eliminating all tax on capital gains a theory he illustrates with an impressive array of graphs, even though his performance is marred a bit by his tendency to twitch uncontrollably at times and by the fact that he is costumed as the French dauphin--and at the end of the presentation, James Baker says. "Are you sure it will work? Pragmatism...
