...crimson Volkswagen Beetle—a gift from his mother. Bok used the University car for long business trips, but the spirited VW was his trademark set of wheels. The Phillips Brooks House Association auctioned it off for charity in 1991. So how does Faust cruise down Mass Ave? She doesn’t. Though she owns a Honda Accord, Faust favors the sidewalk. “Since 2001 I have had the privilege of walking to work at Radcliffe and I am now trying to continue to do that as much as possible,” Faust writes...
...Square near Tufts—one of those restaurants that’s known for being popular as much as it’s known for being delicious. Getting there is a simple bus ride on the 96, or a T-ride to Davis and a walk up College Ave. But why bother tossing off mildly peeved, tired banter with your neighbor in line?

Senate Republicans were cautiously optimistic, but still worried. "Conservatives will respond well to Mukasey if conservative leaders point in that direction," one Senate Republican aide said Sunday. But he worried that any uncertainty among conservatives could be deadly. "Hesitation kills," he said, "It will...
...very different Catholics predict that the book will be a landmark. The Rev. Matthew Lamb, chairman of the theology department at the conservative Ave Maria University in Florida, thinks Come Be My Light will eventually rank with St. Augustine's Confessions and Thomas Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain as an autobiography of spiritual ascent. Martin of America, a much more liberal institution, calls the book "a new ministry for Mother Teresa, a written ministry of her interior life," and says, "It may be remembered as just as important as her ministry to the poor. It would be a ministry...
