...cast for potential Administration employees, the number of books or other print publications should remain relatively manageable for those lucky enough to be tasked with collating these applications. But sifting through all "readily available" blogs and Internet posts in an era when every self-respecting teenager averages a dozen weekly Facebook updates is a challenge of Herculean proportions...
...decided to eat as many as humanly possible. We started with a plate of clean, raw oysters at Dickie Brennan's Bourbon House (144 Bourbon Street; 504-522-0111).

This past summer, when doctors told her that without a heart transplant she'd be dead in six months, she refused to go through with it. "I've been in hospital too much - I've had too much trauma," she told the Guardian. She was not asserting a right to die; she was suggesting that she had a right to live on her own terms and to decide whether the benefit was worth the cost...
