...points we're making is that the parallels to the health-care debate are really eerie," says Marrero. "The direct-loan program was created as a public option 16 years ago. It was touted as a form of competition that would encourage innovation and keep the industry honest. Sound familiar?" But rather than fuel significant opposition to the student-loan plan, the health-care firestorm has overshadowed it, making it harder for opponents to rally an effective counterattack.

...faked, makes life more interesting. Instead of wondering if he can write, swim, act, rap, get an M.B.A., be a cop, wrestle, fight in mixed martial arts or give himself ridiculous nicknames, he does it. And the results are often pretty good. O'Neal's tweets are funny and honest and, unlike most other people's, rarely notify us that he is sleeping or working. He knows that part of being good at something is just wanting to. Except for shooting free throws. And using adverbs. You're going down...

...first met Dunne in Washington when I had him on my radio show. He was supposed to chat for an hour but stayed for three. He was your ideal guest: passionate, humorous and extraordinarily honest. Dunne was the first to admit that when he covered high-profile crimes, he was "prosecution-oriented." The careful term alluded to the first and most painful trial he ever witnessed--that concerning his daughter Dominique, a 22-year-old actress who was strangled to death by an ex-boyfriend...
