...speech, a guest on Larry King Live said the President should "do a 100% grovel." The American President cannot, should not, must not grovel. But a strong man can tell hard truths; can be tough on himself; can, through painful candor, inspire a nation to be its best, most generous self. But he must be his best, most generous self first...
Thomas Wartmann deserves high marks as well. As a 25-year employee of PepsiCo, he had heard about the company's generous scholarship programs and made a mental note to have Christopher apply for one when the time came. Christopher did apply and "let out a whooping scream" when he won the maximum amount: $8,000. The University of Dayton kicked in $7,500 in scholarship and grant aid (money that won't have to be paid back), leaving the Wartmanns with a bill of just $5,500, which they plan to pay in 10 monthly installments of $550 each...

Nor can money they withdraw from an EIRA be used in conjunction with a prepaid tuition plan. Since EIRAs are not considered retirement funds, they are set up in a child's name, and their value...
...Omar Minaya spotted Sosa playing ball as a 16-year-old in 1985, Minaya recalls that the 150-lb., 5-ft. 10-in. kid, dressed in a borrowed uniform, looked both athletically promising and malnourished. Last year Sosa signed a four-year contract for $42.5 million. Beneficiaries of his generous spirit abound. His mother now resides in the third house he has bought for her, and he has purchased 250 computers for poor schools back home...
