...Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else by Michael Gates Gill I empathize with this author because of my days on Dorm Crew, when I’d think about how the grueling physical labor made me more humble and spiritually centered. It’s funny how well you can rationalize something when you’re scrubbing a toilet. Enough about me, though: just take a gander at Michael Gates Gill’s view of the hard-working commoner: fat, bald, and leaning on a mop. Either way, hidden...
...territory, dissing radio host Don Imus, George W. Bush, and even Ronald Reagan. “American Gangster” does get off to a slow start, and it’s definitely back-heavy.

...most versatile athletes? Yes. Admittedly, junior Drew Davis is hardly a physical presence.

In the winter, he is a diver for the Crimson swimming and diving team, and, in the spring, he is a coxswain for the heavyweight...
...second-place Vermont, captured a top-three spot in all four divisions. “It was tough sailing, but I think we did really well,” said freshman Teddy Himler, who acted as skipper on the first-place C-division team. Himler paired up with freshman crew John Stokes, and together with freshman skipper Alan Palmer and freshman crew Quincy Bock, the team captured first in its division with 15 points. The six-race division was not all fun and games, however, as the freshmen had to battle back from a second-to-last-place finish...
...Sarkozy flew down to the Chadian capital of N'Djamena on Sunday to finalize the release and return of three French journalists and four Spanish crew members of a jet Zoe's Ark had chartered to airlift 103 children it claimed were orphans from Darfur. Chadian police in the eastern city of Abéché moved in to stop the plane from departing on Oct. 25, amid charges the group was planning to sell the children to adopting parents in France. Since then, police and U.N. agency investigations have discovered most if not all the 103 children...
