...athletic, or sexual, depending on what will work best. If you didn't get the single, make sure you get your roommate to agree to switch at some equitable point. Afterwards, go to a bank and open a checking account. Look for a bank that offers free checking. Then, wander around the Yard, and get hopelessly lost at least once...

...chief boon for the companies has been higher productivity. Staffers are still close enough to Manhattan to run in for a Broadway play but are spared the drudgery of daily commuting. They no longer wander in late because of railroad tie-ups, and they tend to stay to clean up the day's work rather than flee at the stroke of 5 p.m. to catch the next train. Some firms have even been able to lengthen their formal work week. The Olin Corp., whose 1969 move from Manhattan to Stamford led off the exodus to Fairfield County...

...hang out. Sandy has temporarily left her football-player date, who has all his brains in his biceps according to Travolta, to feed the juke box. Her real intent, of course, is to lure Danny, who is sitting with his slippery friends at another table. Anyway, Danny manages to wander over to the juke box not-so-very casually and stammer out some excuse for his bad behavior. Olivia tries her best to act indifferent, but then again, who ever said she could act? She breezes on back to her jock friend, mumbling something about how she would "really like...
