...turning all of the buzz around Obama into an actual campaign. "The question is, where do go from here," said D'Allesandro." At the book-signing, one woman said she loved Obama's speech, except for the parts about religion; he discusses his work in his 20s as a community organizer at churches and how his famous line (and book title) "the audacity of hope" actually came from his pastor, and she said she felt this was a subject that shouldn't be discussed in polical speeches. The woman said she figured he was only talking so openly about...
...wrong turns while driving near the Oregon coast on vacation; of hypothermia; in Josephine County, Ore. Rescuers found his body last Wednesday, four days after he set out on foot to seek help for wife Kati and their daughters Penelope, 4, and Sabine, 7 months. With temperatures in the 20s, Kim eventually left the road and climbed down a hill. Had he kept walking in the direction the car had been headed, he would have found a lodge a mile away.

Earning a Pulitzer Prize for excellent journalism doesn't translate into sales of newspapers in this environment. If newspapers were going to be at 20% [profit margins] going forward, you wouldn't have pressure from shareholders. But revenues are declining. On the positive side, the costs of newsprint...
...majority of the parolees entered prison in their early 20s or late teens. Most never finished school or held a job, and they lack the skills to do so. In Wisconsin 70% of prisoners struggle with drug or alcohol addiction. "If we don't want to see them again and again, we've got to offer them more than the clothes on their backs, a Greyhound ticket and $15 in their pocket," says Dolan, referring to aid cons receive when they leave prison. Even those who participated in substance-abuse counseling and the few education and job-training programs available...
