...game show Idiot Savants, where I was the only contestant ever to yell out an incorrect answer immediately after someone else had given the same incorrect answer.

As you can probably tell from this article...
Indeed, major nonprofits have not reported any decrease in clothing drop-offs. "But we want people to think as much about their clothing donations as their cash donations," says Goodwill's marketing chief, Dave Barringer. Nonprofits have to report where their money goes.

...thinks it is. Just 10 years ago there were only four summer jazz festivals in the country; now there are more than a dozen, and Otnes says "a lot of them have lost their special character."

If that's all too demanding, no problem: a full weekend's schedule can be crafted with the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Steve Winwood and Solomon Burke. No one's keeping...
...island's only Olympic pool in the fall of 1989 - and his mother Ione died of breast cancer several months later - Duncan never again competed in the water. He only started playing organized basketball in high school, but as a senior Duncan caught the attention of Wake Forest coach Dave Odom, who had been tipped off by one of his players traveling through the region on a collegiate goodwill tour. What most impressed Odom was the gangly teenager's patience, a by-product of his island upbringing. "He didn't play hurried, and that's been the keynote...
