But I wasn't just a female in a gym full of males -- I was a straight female in a gym full of gay males. While I'm not claiming to know the exact sexual orientation of everyone at the gym, it is fair to say that the gym's membership reflected the fact that Provincetown is a mecca for gays and lesbians. Which means getting my exercise was a thought-provoking experience.

In the storied history of rock and roll, no act has amassed a more vaunted reputation for putting on outstanding concerts than Bruce Springsteen.

The modern university plays an enormous role in civil society. The existence of an institution devoted to intellectual pursuits is an inspiring testament to the power of humanity. The university is greater than the individual, for the university exists long after students have graduated and professors have retired.
