After all, we can read about history and literature, but learning to appreciate the arts may require something more than just reading, perhaps a special insight. And because Harvard does give us the opportunity to gain that insight, I felt guilty not taking advantage...

The same forces that have brought high-tech labor shortages to regions from Silicon Valley to Boston's Route 128 corridor are fast transforming Rocky Mountain states from energy, ranching and mining...
...staff; school districts need more teachers; hospitals are crying for nurses and physical therapists. In Minneapolis companies are hiring directly from temporary help agencies--and paying fat premiums to do so. Skilled workers from carpenters to croupiers are in high demand as the good times have brought booms--and frequent overcrowding--to housing markets and entertainment centers from the casinos of Las Vegas and, yes, St. Louis, Missouri, to the theme parks of Orlando...
