...fans. In the '70s, when his work in textured yellow gold and raw emeralds, sapphires and opals became even wilder, Jacqueline Onassis became a convert. His most significant client, however, was the Queen of England, who still reaches into her jewelry box for old favorites. Last year she chose to wear a striking Grima brooch of rubies and diamonds, created for her in 1966, to read her annual Christmas speech...
...first year offering the course, lecturer Kevin J. Verstrepen teaches freshmen (and one lucky law student) the process of beer brewing.

But if we had the current status quo and yet our troops had been drawn down to 30,000, would we consider that a success?" Crocker, semi-speechless, chose to misinterpret the question, saying a precipitous drawdown to 30,000 troops would be disastrous. But Obama's question was more diabolical. He was saying, Hey, al-Qaeda's on the run, and Iran is probably more interested in harassing the U.S. military than having another war with Iraq...
