...tone it down, soften it up, step back. "How will Michelle Obama feel as she becomes what she has long resisted - an extension of her husband?" asked Rebecca Traister in a Salon article called "The Momification of Michelle Obama." She was giving up her job, her $212,000-a-year salary and her independence, which prompted the commentariat to lament the sacrifices she was having to make in terms of her identity. Even her own mother told People that "Michelle had worked so hard to get where she was. I kind of feel...
...contrast, Skidmore's applications tumbled almost 14% this spring, in line with plunges at seven of the country's top eight liberal-arts colleges and many others down the food chain. Skidmore's projected $51,196-a-year price tag makes it one of the nation's 10 most expensive schools, but its $223 million endowment--down 23% from its high about a year ago--is too small to bankroll financial aid for all who need it. Founded in 1903 as a women's college, Skidmore was long known for teaching art to well-heeled young ladies...
...plan for improving education is admirable, his private actions should match his public promises. All the policy initiatives in the world will not fully solve America’s education problem if the rich and powerful are able to flee the public school system into $25,000-a-year private schools. Politicians need to see problems firsthand as parents and PTA members, not by reading statistics.

You'd think they were desktop apps. So who knows, maybe people will be upsold to the $99-a-year service. And if they do? Chances are they'll re-up every year, since switching is such a pain. (Although after running it by my wife, I'm more skeptical about this one. Apple definitely has the lead, but how long before Google's free services catch...
...since 2000, he's a plain-talking, cheerleading executive who boasts of never having attended business school. He's given to goofy team-building tactics like passing out rubber chickens (and $100) to KFC managers whose stores are performing well. A former $7,200-a-year advertising copywriter, Novak took his marketing chops to PepsiCo in 1987. Though he suffered his biggest failure there--Crystal Pepsi, which he still contends was the right idea at the wrong time--he was handed the reins to the KFC and Pizza Hut units in 1996. He chronicled a childhood spent in 32 trailer...
