...numbers and infinity. A country song, Nickels and Dimes, introduces us to a woman trying to account for the cost of a love that isn't showing much return. "She wonders where all of the interest went/ She knows it won't break her, but it sure leaves a dent." Learn to Let Go is more philosophical than narrative, but who knew Buddhist thought had so much jazz and funk in it? The CD is an impressive achievement for the 32-year-old Torontonian, who spends her days traveling in a van full of instruments making house calls to teach...
...rate of inflation. What's more, the agency's overall allotment this year is only $16.8 billion out of a total federal budget measured in the trillions. And though every federal agency faces hard choices to make ends meet, the missions NASA is scrapping make the least fiscal dent at the greatest scientific price. It can take two or even three interplanetary probes to pay for just one shuttle flight, which in turn is flying in the first place only to service the space station, which in turn does... nothing...
...YOUR BEST INTEREST? Taking out an interest-only loan means that at least initially, all you're paying back is interest; you're not making a dent in the principal until after the interest-only introductory period, typically five or 10 years down the road.

But what if you're sick of the whole plastic ride and really want to put a serious dent in your debt? Here's how to get started...
...first time. Hwang, one of South Korea's most famous writers, spent five years in prison for a 1989 trip to Pyongyang, flouting a ban on unauthorized contact with the North. He was pardoned by President Kim Dae Jung, but a stint in jail clearly failed to dent his taste for controversy. The Guest, the title of which is a translation of the Korean term for the imported disease of smallpox, describes what Hwang sees as the pernicious influence of "cultural imperialism" on Korea. He focuses on a massacre that took place in late 1950 in North Korea's Hwanghae...
