...YORK—I am spending the summer trying to figure out how fruit flies smell. That’s right: I am studying how those pesky flies always manage to root out the delicious food in your kitchen. Now, I’ll admit, the job doesn’t sound glamorous. There’s no rubbing elbows with the rich and famous, no opportunity to travel the world and certainly very little money involved. But, as summer jobs go, I’ve done a lot worse. Actually, it’s the best...
...raise our children to shop. And if Mr. And Mrs. Smith use that $600 to do something ant-ish like put it in the bank, invest it, or pay off credit card bills (generally a better deal than investing anyway), won't the money find its way out eventually?

With Pearl Harbor, he is fighting for respectability and a grown-up audience. The battle began two years...
...that denies there is a crisis." Gabriel Madieye sees the result of that neglect. The head of the Shepherd's Hospice for HIV-positive patients consults more than 100 new HIV patients a month. But because the tiny clinic has only two beds, he feels it is unfair to admit anyone because it will mean turning away dozens more. So he gives outpatients basic drugs, counsels them and slowly works on the hospice building, laying a few extra rows of bricks every time he gets a donation. "We've been through one war," he says, pausing to point...
