...little experiences of everyday life at Harvard which the Class of 1977 will remember, at least the Class of 1977 speakers will be remembered for being the first in a long time to call for inward reflection. Speakers will be applauded for not asking their fellow classmates to act outwardly, but rather to consider their four years at Harvard with the quiet introspection that the seventies' students seem to demand...
...energy-saving advantage that Rösrath has over Hinsdale is that the German suburb, unlike the American, has conveniently located shopping areas. An everyday sight is a housewife pedaling her bicycle home from the supermarket, straining to see over the top of grocery bags stuffed into the handlebar basket.

...five days after surgery-compared with a typical ten-day hospital stay in the U.S. For these Auckland patients, however, hospital care continues at home. Nurses pay them regular visits. Family members are trained to meet their special needs. Patients may even borrow hospital equipment. It may be an everyday item like a bedpan or cane-or more complicated gear: a respirator, wheelchair or even an electrical hoist like the one that helps Susan Foss...
