...mission to educate; he would rather be the hitmaker. Take dulce de leche, the sweetened milk cooked down to a caramel that is a staple of Latin American desserts. Overton had considered it for a cheesecake flavor for years, but he waited for a cue--Häagen Dazs' introducing dulce de leche ice cream--before trying the bittersweet, burned-sugar taste on his customers in 2002. It now ranks as the chain's fifth most popular of 40 cheesecakes...
...home to the Yearly Kos convention - a near-thousand-strong gathering of progressive bloggers and the reporters who love them - the Riviera has become a three-day oasis of earnest activism amidst a landscape of sin. Not that the Riviera holds much temptation itself.

Resources are allocated in part on the basis of departmental contributions to undergraduate education...

The final ceremony began with the Pope pausing to pray at memorials in the different languages of the 1.5 million killed. But by the time he reached the final plaque, the rain had stopped, the umbrellas were tucked away, and the pack of reporters noticed that across the broad field of half-standing brick barracks of Birkenau, a vivid rainbow had appeared. The editors of TIME, like those...
