What did we do? We sat around in an office until the wee hours of the morning, fighting computers and news editors, watching the third repeat of the Atlanta Thrasher highlights on SportsCenter, hemorrhaging cash on road trips—and all, some might say, so that Tiffany Whitton and Jesse Jantzen get that extra clipping, a scrap of paper that could find itself in the trash within minutes of its arrival or, if kept, could find itself in a basement or a trunk, forever unloved, left to yellow and disappear.

In the spring, Kieran and Sam plan to intern together in Atlanta at the Southern Center for Human Rights. They hope to turn their experience into a documentary film on the injustices of state-appointed legal representation...

Neither vehicle is fancy; they're mainstream sedans for buyers on a budget. Both sell well. But when you talk about profit, the Taurus wobbles off the road. Ford must entice Taurus buyers with rebate offers and financing deals that slice 13%, or roughly $3,000, off the sticker price.
