What's going on? Though Coors' profits helped start the conservative Heritage Foundation and still keep right-wing causes afloat, the brewer has bottom-line reasons for behaving more like a commune than a company: its bad reputation with minorities and unions nearly devastated Coors in the early 1980s. A p.r. turnaround was urgently needed. The spending targets for minority vendors, for example, result from a "covenant" the company signed with black and Hispanic groups in 1984 in an effort to make up for a racially charged speech by William Coors, one of the brothers who has worked...
...Dudley House. No, it's that much-caricatured and myth-surrounded place 15 minutes from the Yard--the Dudley Co-op (and its associate, the Jordan Co-op). The Unoffical Guide to Harvard's description warrants some fact-checking. Can it really be fairly compared to a "hippie commune" not cleaned "since the last time Jerry Garcia came through?" Or is it merely a unique, homey alternative to Harvard housing...
...centuries, these mountains in the heart of China, 250 miles southwest of Shanghai, have been a destination for artists and poets (among them the renowned Li Bo), who come to commune with nature in one of its more striking poses--and struggle to replicate its beauty.

Seventy miles of trails wind around 72 peaks, the two most majestic of which are Capital of Heaven and Lotus Flower. The highest of the mountains...
...cancer, he insists, hasn't changed him. But it has changed his life. Eating with Grove most days is like a trip to a vegan commune--tofu, veggies, five servings of fruit a day, a palmful of antioxidant pills. He continues to dig through prostate-cancer research and sits on the board of CapCure, Michael Milken's prostate-cancer foundation. Last spring Grove uncovered a yet-to-be published study showing a link between calcium intake and the spread of prostate cancer to the rest of the body. He rushed to the CapCure doctors and persuaded them to reduce...
...whole dance seemed to be inspired by some kind of stilted stylish treading of water, and he did it freely and extemporaneously all around the stage. There were catwalks set up from the stage out towards the sides of the field, which Mick danced up and down to commune with the crowd and prompt them to sing along. He went through a variety of jackets over the course of the show, colorful blazers, some with sequins, while the other Stones, Keith Richard, Charlie Watts and others, sported long overcoats. Mick would often punctuate the relative silence between songs with accent...
