...public (that is, fee-paying) schools in the London area with big reputations, have opened five franchises overseas between them - primary and secondary schools in China and Thailand that share their names and advertise a British-style education. Harrow now receives "six figures" per annum and Dulwich a "sizable amount" from their franchises abroad, say school officials. They are frank about wanting the money: with their operating costs increasing and the fees they charge parents rising faster than household incomes, something has to give. For Dulwich's headmaster, Graham Able, the franchises represent "a significant contribution" toward a goal...
...Espanol) blackness that Pedro Almadovar attains at his best. But farce depends on solipsism and paranoia for its effectiveness. Its characters need to get lost in their own misunderstandings of a situation and then act out of them, in highly physical, door-slamming ways, causing a certain amount of physical - but not deadly - pain in the process.

...want an indication of just how bad the outbreak of drug deaths has gotten in and around Chicago lately, just climb into one of the city's ambulances, which are now stocked with four times the usual amount of antidotes to handle such overdoses - if they get there in time.

Although the U.S. hasn't yet developed guidelines for caffeine intake for kids, most researchers recommend that children get no more that 100 milligrams of caffeine a day, the equivalent of the average amount of caffeine found in two 12-ounce cans of soda. When I told Dylan's mom that I believed caffeine might be the source of Dylan's headaches, she was stunned. Ironically, she had prohibited Dylan from drinking sodas because of their caffeine count and yet allowed tea because...
...budget of just $350,000 for 150 college chapters. There were once as many as 200 left-leaning Public Interest Research Groups at U.S. universities, but today only about half that number exist. Last school year, the 38-year-old National Organization for Women spent twice the amount it usually does on campus in order to publicize April's feminist march on Washington, but the total, $500,000, was just 4% of Young America's budget...
