Stealing that pretty little evergreen from a neighbor's backyard and setting it up as a Christmas tree in your living room is a dirty trick. But some enterprising Coloradans are striking back at would-be tree snatchers with a pungent recipe: fox urine, a drop or two of skunk essence and glandular extracts from cats, ferrets or muskrats. Sprayed on evergreens, the Scrooge Christmas Tree Protector, at $6 per pt., raises a stink to warn off tree rustlers. If a "Scrooged" tree is moved into a heated house, the putrid perfume gets really intense. How long before the scent...
When Anna La Barbera, a 33-year-old psychotherapist from White Plains, N.Y., bought a silver fox coat in 1984, she did so with joy and absolutely no hesitation.

I probably never would have heard of D.N.A. if it were not for Ron; I certainly would not have managed to find the funding for the project I wanted to pursue here if Ron had not been at Harvard...
...school; many factors make the private sector an easier route to take. But public interest jobs are the hardest jobs in the legal world to find and to get, even coming out of the top schools. By not providing the encouragement, guidance and direction of someone like Ron Fox, Harvard Law School will miss the chance to serve many of its students who want to contribute to the unmet needs of society. The law school fulfilled an important social obligation of its own by helping its students serve the public...
