...rich men, they can sound a lot like Tupac. One of them, Sperling, 81, is founder of the highly profitable nationwide chain the University of Phoenix. He has spent $13 million on drug-reform campaigns and lots of other money on other pet projects, including cloning his cat. "Mr. Walters is a pathetic drug-war soul who is defending a whole catalog of horrors he's indifferent to," Sperling says from his office in Phoenix, Ariz. "The government's drug-reform policy is driven by a Fundamentalist Christian sense of morality that sees any of these illegal substances used...
...famous, because diners do not feel they should be eating pasta in such a fine restaurant. It’s a double shame, because this restaurant has so much to offer, even aside from the food: a fantastic and highly personal wine list selected by reigning Boston wine queen Cat Silirie, a passionate and brilliant service staff that not only can describe every minute detail of a dish, from farm and forest to table, but has mastered the wine list as well, and a handsome dining room with the best view in Boston.

Species on the brink of obliteration are so common that it is easy to be numb to such news. Indeed, the I.U.C.N. threatened-species list contains more than 11,000 endangered animals, birds and insects, 121 of which...
...memories die, I’m left knowing that eventually it will be up to me to follow those directions to the house that Grandpa built. With this in mind, I enrolled in elementary Vietnamese this semester. I stumble over words and mix up tones, sounding more like a cat in heat than a native speaker. Fortunately, I know in time it will prove worthwhile. Before visiting Vietnam, the country existed as some abstract place that belonged to my mother. But now I know a part of it is mine. When my friends ask, “What...
