LOS ANGELES--Her mood dangerously optimistic at the end of the school
year, teenager Christine Lowell was reminded of the need to assume a
sullen, self-pitying manner Monday by the Fiona Apple song "Sleep To
Dream." "God, I don't see why I should have to continue facing these
phonies every day of my miserable life," Lowell said after the song came
into rotation on her MP3 player. "I can't be, you know, stifled by your
insignificant ways, all right?" At last report, Lowell's mother, the
only witness to Christine's sudden and deliberate mood change, had
resumed driving to the supermarket without comment.
