...first step in choosing an online course, says Fathom's Kirschner, is picking a topic you're likely to stick with. "Though you're taking it from your home on your terms, an online course requires some level of commitment," she notes. "Start with something that is your greatest delight." Once you know what you want to study, Kirschner suggests, find a teacher with some expertise, not just anyone who puts up a website and offers to read your poetry. You'll find that the more substantive the course, the more likely you'll pay. Often a free class will...
...Annan's dignity really a disadvantage? Observe, for a moment, Annan in Ghana. His motorcade arrives at a local market, and he discovers, much to his delight, that the Ghanaian national soccer team is practicing nearby. So he strolls over to where a crowd has gathered, hoping to catch a few minutes of the scrimmage. It is not possible. The mob erupts when they see him, shouting and dancing.

...Bush said so, adding that it made Lieberman just like him! Lieberman dispatched that one with the old chestnut about thinking the veterinarian and the taxidermist are alike since both give you back your dog. How like a good guy to tell such a lame joke with such obvious delight. Rubber-faced, slow-talking, yet irrepressibly exuberant, Lieberman at his introduction in Nashville, Tenn., was already rubbing off on the usually constrained Gore, who nearly scampered about the stage retrieving a camera left there by Tipper and handing Lieberman a handkerchief to wipe his sweating face. (Memo to Gore fashion...
...Karenna's wild-child soul seemed to come to peace. "They were so intense, so focused and secure," says Megan Colligan, a college pal. Last year Gore got his first grandchild, Wyatt, born conveniently on the Fourth of July. As she does with her father, Karenna seems to delight in her husband for the things others might see as strange. Drew, 34, who works for a biotech venture-capital fund, is bright, attractive and good-natured. But like Gore, his mind is sometimes transfixed by the academic and arcane, as witnessed by a friend who watched Drew and the Veep...
