...quicker for developers to rip an old house down," says Brett Zamore, 34, who renovated a house built in the shotgun style--first used by African-American settlers in the early 1800s--for his Rice University grad-school thesis. "But houses like the shotgun have strengths and character" as well as the potential, he says, to be prototypes for responsible modern living--and for rebuilding hurricane-hit communities on the Gulf Coast...
...depression." But then Hemingway couldn't play the cut shot like Waugh did. The original target was 100,000 words.

...emerged a new man. He swore off alcohol and married his high school sweetheart, the mother of their five-year-old daughter. But soon thereafter, his best friend back in Kiln, Mississippi, Mark Haverty, was killed in a car accident; the driver, who police say was legally intoxicated, was Brett's brother Scott. A month after that, his sister Brandi was arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting in Louisiana. Through it all, Favre managed to stay clean and to lead the Packers to their best season since 1966. Said Holmgren: "Given everything he's had to deal with...
