...good local job as a bank teller, Diaz has to decide whether to join her entire family in Italy, where she'd make more money even as a domestic worker, or stay in Little Italy and raise Magnus alone. "I know my parents worked so hard for me to finish school so I could get an education and not go into domestic work," she says. And Diaz does not want her son to go through what she did. "The income I could earn could not compensate [for] the loneliness," she says...
...refers almost apologetically to an earlier interview in which Obama "grew a bit testy when I pushed him on the need for universal health insurance and a more aggressive global-warming policy."

In high school, you mostly spent your time padding your resume by competing in the Tri-Valley Quiz Bowl Tournament, creating a (fake...
...just what the Navy did, forking over an additional $100 million to make it seaworthy after the Navy had taken delivery of the vessel from its builder, Northrop Grumman, in 2006. The service said it needed the new ship to replace an older one it was retiring and could finish the work more cheaply in its own shipyard. The Navy has blamed Northrop Grumman for poor work; the company has blamed the Navy for a constantly changing design, as well as Hurricane Katrina, which hit the Gulf yards in which the ship was built...
