...freshmen candidates’ concerted efforts to become acquainted with their constituency. “The freshman candidates really make a big effort to get to know their neighbors in the dorm,” he said. “There’s a lot more active door-to-door campaigning [among the freshman] than in the Houses.” Chen B. Fang ’10, a West Yard candidate who was president of his high school class for four consecutive years, said that many Yard-dwelling council hopefuls “don?...
...reason for Utah's MLM success seems again to stem from the church. Nature's Sunshine became the first to go that route back in 1975, and Mormons--trained in door-to-door evangelism through compulsory missions--proved natural salespeople. "The church provides a network--a real plus factor for MLM companies," says Rory Mahony, general manager of Nature's Way, which sells through health-food and vitamin shops.

...warlords in Afghanistan, but it would be dangerous in Iraq, where Saddam has a 400,000-man army. As the plan bounced between Washington and Franks' Tampa, Fla., headquarters, Franks' troop count fell and then rose again as war planners became convinced that they might have to engage in door-to-door fighting in Baghdad. The final number split the difference: war with Iraq could begin with as few as 150,000 U.S. troops in the region--ready to strike by mid-February--with 100,000 or more standing by in Europe and elsewhere.
