"I've been driving [trains] over that section for 19 years," Trigo, the union member, told TIME, "and nothing like this had ever happened before." The regional government says, and the unions acknowledge, that...
...that break was bought and paid for, and money talks. The world is rid of an evil, warped mind, but let's tell it like it is.

Those future wages may not materialize and may be taxed to death. Middle-age and middle-class workers should consider contributing to Roth rather than conventional IRAs. The conventional IRA lowers your current taxes but raises your future taxes, including taxes on your future Social Security benefits. New retirees should consider cashing out their 401(k)s early and delaying receipt of Social Security. That dramatically raises Social...
...powerful novel (The Namesake) and a Pulitzer-winning story collection. Jonathan Safran Foer (Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close) has got a lot of attention both popular and critical, and he's only 29. A somewhat partisan sampling would also include Colson Whitehead (The Intuitionist), 36; Edwidge Danticat (Breath, Eyes, Memory), 37; Dave Eggers (You Shall Know Our Velocity), 36; Arthur Phillips (Prague), 37; Curtis Sittenfeld (Prep), 30; Myla Goldberg (Bee Season), 34; Nicole Krauss (The History of Love), 31; and Gary Shteyngart (Absurdistan), 33. If we open our borders to the Brits, we also get Zadie Smith (On Beauty...
