...spent most of his career tilling the dusty fields of international-trade law, first at the Senate Finance Committee, then as general counsel to the U.S. Trade Representative under President Bush, and finally, for five years, in the London office of Goldman Sachs, where his intelligence, work ethic and low-key demeanor earned him plenty of money and admirers. A friend from the firm says Bolten is so ambivalent about wealth that one year he "seemed genuinely embarrassed" by the size of his paycheck. Bolten left Goldman for Bush three months before the investment bank went public, a move that...
Most Cubans adore Felix--one reason that Fidel Castro tapped him to carry the Cuban flag at Sydney. Savon, from the rural town of San Vicente, is regarded by Cubans as a ninote (big boy), a gentle giant with a fierce family loyalty and a punishing work ethic.

To get a kid to do a job he doesn't want to do, parents might be tempted to bribe him, but that can backfire. If your son can negotiate a price with you, good for him, but I feel strongly that kids should know they...
...Flies" aesthetic may be, the Tribal Council shows "delegates" forced to weigh which individuals are most indispensable to their "party" before casting their votes in a ballot whose outcome can, at the last moment, defy all predictions. In other words, "Survivor" represents real, unscripted politics, whose Darwinian ethic shows humans at their best and worst...
