...proceeds from the show were donated to the Harvard Stephens/DeShaun Hill Fund. The money will go to the parents of the two young men, who will decide how it will be used. Fraser said the event generated about...
...membership 250,000, up from 85,000 just five years ago. Sedate and pragmatic, with a name so innocuous it could be transferred intact to a group devoted to fair labor practices, H.R.C. was established to speak to the middle class in middle-class terms.

The Republicans caved on everything from paying for 100,000 new teachers to providing an $18 billion infusion to the International Monetary Fund. Is this really what happens to a President in serious trouble? "I just can't tell you how grateful I am for these achievements," he gushed...
