...finally found a station that didn’t recycle reincarnations of the Dixie Chicks on repeat. Charleston’s 96 the Wave played Nirvana and Marcy’s Playground — hits from the 90s that I should perhaps be embarrassed to admit I love. With the radio cranked up, I was frying catfish in the kitchenette, riding a wave of elementary school nostalgia when, all of the sudden, the sound of an insistent nasally twang snapped...
...Even better for the embattled President, someone else's woes are for once dominating the news. Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou, party chairman of the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) and a likely 2008 presidential candidate, was forced to admit on Nov. 15 that an aide had forged receipts when tallying mayoral expenses. Ma also spent last Thursday morning being questioned by prosecutors over expense money Ma says went to charitable donations, but which his adversaries have accused him of keeping for himself. DPP lawmakers were the first to lodge an official complaint over Ma's expense accounts in August, and they...
Meredith's lawsuit seeks an end to the guidelines (and $25,000 in damages for her son, who was eventually admitted to the school that originally rejected him and is now a fourth-grader there).

By the time Meredith (who declined to be interviewed for this article) did apply, most of the seats had been allocated. Cheryl Wirth, a waitress at Waffle House whose son attends a magnet school, thinks this alone ought to be enough to dispose...
...Pollsters found that nearly 90% of African-Americans agreed with the verdict. Almost a third of whites did too. What better way to eliminate this lingering and widespread doubt about Simpson's guilt than to have the man himself admit it. But for that you need his confession. The fact that he prefaced his "I did it" with the word "if" is irrelevant. Simpson will always avoid unqualified admission if only to avoid further legal jeopardy for, say, perjury...
