...Journalist Ryan D'Agostino traveled to some of the nation's richest zip codes - places like Beverly Hills, Palm Springs, and Wesport, Connecticut - to attempt to discover the secrets of wealth. He utilized a very simple technique; he knocked on doors of expensive looking homes and asked the owners how they got where they are today. As D'Agostino writes, "If I knocked on enough doors in enough preposterously rich enclaves, I might gather enough insight and guidance to help me...understand how to get rich; rich like them. Simple as that." (See pictures of expensive things that money...
...Then, in November, a top human-rights activist whose 13-year battle against charges of maliciously publishing false news - an allegation international human-rights groups decried as trumped up - finally won her appeal. The same month, a Malaysian court overturned the Home Minister's decision to jail a dissident journalist without trial. Two court cases may not sound like much, but their significance was not lost on longtime opposition politician Lim Kit Siang, who labeled the decisions "victories for free speech and judicial independence...
...Three's Bailout I can't understand why there's no talk in Congress about moving auto manufacturers' health-care systems into the federal system in exchange for an equity investment that - as journalist Thomas Friedman has suggested - requires the hybridization of their entire fleet [Dec. 15].

And at the beginning, I was a decent journalist and I could write, but basically [editors ] wanted me to interview chefs and write about food as art and all this other crap. I've seen the move to simplicity. I'll be disappointed if five years from now, we're not having this discussion in a different...
...Lowdown: Davis, a veteran journalist at publications like TV Guide, culls insights from the show's creators and cast to serve up this painstakingly detailed history of television's most famous address. He writes as an unabashed fan of the show's charms rather than as a dispassionate historian, and the approach yields mixed results. His interviews are revealing, but the portraits of Sesame Street's creators can be hagiographic and the language breathless: at one point, he describes the observation that television could be harnessed for educational purposes as a "flash of brilliance that struck like a bolt from...
