...people treated it as a joke, but as soon as I saw the card, I knew it could work," Bannon recalled last week. The card had been signed by "Tweeds" Bush in cherry-red ink, presumably to distinguish his signature from those of three lesser stickball officials. Above the names were spaces for descriptive data, such as weight, height, hair and eye color and, most critically, date of birth. Bannon rushed back to his dorm and typed in a fake name ("Everett B. Ford"), address and his team name: the Trojans. He then affixed his school picture as a special...
...lobby Presidents and Prime Ministers. But with the collapse of authority in Jakarta, her focus has narrowed down to the communities living in and around what is left of the national park. They are both the source and solution to the problem. "These days it is impossible to distinguish the local community from illegal loggers," she says...
...even if the programs are successful?and scientists say the chances are as low as one in five?the orangutans that graduate are very different from their wild cousins. In the forest, orangutans spend eight years under the exclusive tutelage of their mothers, learning to distinguish among 4,000 different plants, absorbing the details of location and fruiting time of every tree in a 100-hectare range. And, yes, probably learning how to use certain types of tools, even if they haven't all solved the problem of gaining access to the fruits of the neesia tree...
...with the result that his books, tiny and rare as they are, "illuminated" in a form of color etching that was essentially his invention, possess an astonishing integration of clarity, density and richness of organic detail.

You cannot imagine separating the text from the design, or the design from the text, and so there has hardly been an English book creator since--not even William Morris, the greatest one to emerge since Blake--who did not feel the duty of homage...
...material—a fabulous student body and a fabulous faculty,” says recently hired HLS professor William Stuntz, who has also taught at Yale Law School and the University of Virginia Law School. Stuntz says this quality forms the bedrock of HLS and will always distinguish it from other schools. This “raw material,” Stuntz claims, is better at HLS than at Yale, which some consider HLS’ chief rival. HLS student Clifford M. Ginn, who was accepted to both NYU and HLS, also says Harvard’s fundamentals surpass...
