...campaign is over before it began: Dmitry Medvedev will be Russia's next President. Only two things can stop him. One would be a serious medical emergency. This is unlikely, since the man looks as fit as a flea; it has been centuries since any Kremlin ruler - except for the incumbent, Vladimir Putin - has looked in ruder health. The second snag would be any change of mind by Putin. Medvedev owes his projected elevation to the favor of just one man. Such is Putin's dominance that Medvedev has immediately begged him to serve as his Prime Minister after...
...Office Web site. A family making $120,000 per year currently pays about $19,000 to Harvard, which would be reduced to about $12,000 under the new initiative. Fitzsimmons added that the admissions office hopes the program will encourage students to choose the college which offers the best fit, not the lowest cost.

If only the hodge-podge journey of the rest of the album was equally fulfilling. “Memoirs of an Immigrant” is supposed to speak to the whole world. We’re all immigrants, all refugees, and Wyclef wants us all to get along. Unfortunately...
...charts to text. The subject matter is not especially unusual for a Republican: cut government spending, cut taxes, be more competitive in the global marketplace. It's just that these sorts of arid managerial charts, the lifeblood of Romney's previous career as a consultant, generally don't fit the crowd-energizing mood of the political stump speech. It's less the "Fired up! Ready to go!" chant made famous in the resurgent Obama campaign than the hushed whisper of an E.F. Hutton TV spot...
