...first blush, this may seem no bargain, and on normal transactions it's not. But here's the deal. The ATMS limit you to $400, but by going into a bank that honors MasterCard, as most do, you can grab a cash advance equal to your entire available credit. From a human teller (remember them?). Because of the $20 cap, that 2.5% maxes out at $800. Borrow more, and the effective percentage you pay begins to fall. Say you borrow $2,000. The charge is still $20, which works out to 1%.

...remarkable thing about Community Carol is not, however, what it says but who is performing it. The cast of 30 includes equal numbers of professional actors and members of Washington's impoverished Anacostia neighborhood, an area pioneered by slaves working farms they had bought in secret, and so long benighted that some areas lacked electricity in the 1930s. The amateurs are not stereotypical victims or lowlifes: while some come from straitened circumstances, one is a Berkeley-educated attorney, others are students at a selective high school for the performing arts, and one is a former seminarian who does managerial tasks...
