...Politics aren’t for the faint of heart, but that doesn’t mean that anyone was treated unfairly or in an underhanded manner,” Mahan wrote...
...Paderborn-Elsen, a secondary school in the state of North Rhine Westphalia, began a healthy-lunches policy in the early '90s, after the meals served by the school's caterer grew progressively worse. "The tomato soup would end up containing only three rice grains and with only a faint notion of a real tomato," says Sigrid Beer, a mother of three kids at the school and a nutrition researcher. "We decided that we needed something more healthy." The parents now run their own independent cafeteria with eight employees. It regularly feeds 300 children - up from 70 a little over...
...gold before (the Bee Gees' How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?), but this time he excels himself. Shout Out Louds Very Loud Singer Adam Olenius broadcasts his influences with his vocal cords (the Cure's Robert Smith and U2's Bono), but his swing from nonchalant weariness to faint glimmer of hope on this up-tempo heartbreak tune is so winning it almost sounds new.

Scanning the moonless heavens with his binoculars, Morris sighted a faint light source. Then he located the same diffuse blob with his naked eyes. Meanwhile, Edberg sketched the position of the dim light and compared his drawing with the magnified view of the object provided by his binoculars. Sure enough, there it was. The two men had made the first unaided sighting of Halley...
