...like this image. He would have been flushed and talking quickly, having not yet imparted all he had hoped. Even though he was supposed to have left the room while everyone dutifully bubbled in their evaluations, the students were getting one last burst of constitutional law. It is the same enthusiasm that keeps his syllabi twice as long as what he can practically cover. “There’s just so much rich material,” he says, even though he has taught the same material for 36 years...
...president of the National Venture Capital Association. Since 1970 venture capitalists (VCs) have pumped $339 billion into start-ups; these companies have created 10.1 million jobs and collected $1.8 trillion in sales.

The Iraqis pointed guns at Chalabi's guards and ordered them to load the police vehicles with the office's computers, documents and files. Outside...
...people were back. After a lackluster 2003 session of mediocre films and low celebrity wattage, this year's Cannes Film Festival atoned in substance and style. It boasted a stronger slate of movies (potent new works from Pedro Almodovar, Wong Kar-wai, Zhang Yimou and Jean-Luc Godard) and burst with star power under the brilliant Riviera sun. Waving from the red-carpeted steps of the Grand Palais were your Hankses and Diazes, your Brad Pitts and Mike Myerses--enough representatives of the rich and famous to fill a Cabala convention...
