...prison experience is omnipresent in his paintings, which have been featured in recent exhibitions in both Hong Kong and London, where he now lives with his wife, a former British ambassador to Burma. His work - and unique modus operandi - is attracting the attention of international collectors, according to Karin Weber, owner of a Hong Kong gallery specializing in contemporary Burmese art that has shown Htein Lin's paintings. "They're dense with visual information," Weber says, referring to a corpus that both chronicles the artist's bodily and sensory impoverishment, and offers a timely glimpse into a country that...
Biss, an old friend of Rahn and DeBergalis from RSI, is a professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago. On his thirtieth birthday, his wife, Karin Steinbrueck, a graduate student at Northwestern, started her own ActBlue page and asked supporters to donate $30 each to her husband's campaign. It worked.

Gosling's teachers didn't find the antiauthority thing terribly cute, so when he was 10 his mom, whom he describes as Karin-like in her tenacity, began homeschooling him. At 12, Gosling auditioned for The All New Mickey Mouse Club, the 1990s revival of the kiddie variety show, the one that launched the more mainstream careers of Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. "I was confident," Gosling says. "I would...
