...only one factor that is behind a growing move among young Americans to seek their college degrees in Canada, England and Ireland, where the education is first rate and, since English is spoken, understandable. Now, with the cost of an Ivy League education well past the $30,000-a-year mark, the sticker prices abroad are more attractive than ever. An American college student in Canada might spend, on average, U.S.$10,000 for tuition and living expenses; in England, $17,000; and in Ireland, around $14,000. In the past several years, between 20% and 60% more U.S. students...

The group's headquarters is Hale's bedroom in his dad's house in East Peoria, Ill. It measures members' success by the number of racist leaflets they can distribute...

...cast of possible witnesses will recall the Year of Monica: Willey is likely to be Starr's star witness; Tripp may be called to undercut Willey; and Steele's lawyer Nancy Luque wants to compel an appearance by Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff. In the meantime, the former $60,000-a-year communications consultant is hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and fears losing her house in a few months.

...course, it's possible to meet someone online, but it's just as tough as the old, analog ways.

Sounds impressive until you realize that the chance of finding a match made in heaven is less than 1 in 1,000.
