...America's first black president settles into the Oval Office, it seems an odd time for Georgia to be up in arms over school integration again. In 1961, when a federal court ordered the University of Georgia to admit two black students, 1,000 white rioters hurled firecrackers, bricks and racial epithets through dorm windows. But 1961 this is not: today a white Republican is leading the charge, and black students and lawmakers are fighting for the status...
...USPSA is a civilian counterpart to our military academies. But, instead of military officers, the academy will admit America’s best and brightest students and eventually produce an entire generation of effective and efficient leaders in local, state, and national government. Via a competitive admissions process akin to the military academies—where admissions rates can be lower than Harvard’s—students would earn a four-year scholarship to study liberal arts as well as a specific public service field. At its full capacity, the academy would serve approximately 5000 students a year...
Classic Dinner Theater. Admit it, you eat dinner in front of the TV. So, why not do it en masse in front of a big screen? Nine Thirty, the restaurant at the Los Angeles-Westwood W hotel, will pair film screenings with a three-course dinner and wine every Sunday, from Feb. 15 through May 17.

I drink two glasses of wine every night before bed. Wait, did I just admit to alcoholism? 20. If you asked me to tell you my favorite movie, I would have a hard time not saying Titanic. (See the 100 best movies of all time.) 21. I once sent a teacher into early retirement by pretending to be a cheetah and swiping at her from...
...Privately, BSF officers admit that the ban makes little sense; dozens of Indian citizens are killed every year while trying to earn the fee of about $22 for getting a cow across. (The animals can eventually be sold for as much as $900 each.) Legalizing the trade would reduce the border violence and open a new stream of tax revenue. But few on the border expect that to happen in a majority-Hindu country. "Which government is going to allow the export of cows for slaughter?" Mitra asks. "That would just be political suicide...
