...Hello, my name is Wayne, and I'm a political fund raiser. So I have some confessions to make. For almost 20 years I've been raising money for Republican candidates. And despite all the scandals, congressional investigations and independent counsels, I believe fund raising is a legitimate part of our political system. To raise money, a candidate needs a mixture of charm, inspiration and persuasion--qualities also essential to success when candidates become officeholders...
...terms stands as a giant of the bedroom-music scene. No matter that his following bears more resemblance to a secret club than music fans. Or that his set list is a conglomeration of travel itineraries and Latin aphorisms. With a broad smile and a warm hello, the club president is open and welcoming, and his concerts are large circles of friends who are all too eager to invite you into their slightly abnormal lives...
Reich didn't respond to my calls about this. In his June 7 reply in Slate, he makes light of the discrepancies and Reiches Rauch. "My phone rings. 'Hello.

The weather is good, says Baker, which means that waves are not as high as the 60-ft. height of Waveland, though that's not always the case...
...street, the homeless are both more and less aggressive in Hungary than they are in Cambridge. Homeless men sit in squares and drink, rarely approaching passers-by. Women, meanwhile, accost tourists and others with an aggressiveness that would put Cambridge's "Hello there, young man!" Spare Change dealer to shame. These women, without fail, move about in groups, bear very small children on their arms and dress in gypsy-style wraps and shawls. They come to you begging, pointing to their children, and literally hang on your arm for two blocks waiting for money. They even enter restaurants...
