...person office was an important part of Vorenberg's effort to present the public-interest option to students at a school notorious for supplying the partners of the nation's largest corporate law firms. (Only 6 percent of Harvard Law School students currently go into public-interest law.) Vorenberg also instituted the nation's most generous loan-forgiveness program two years ago, which pays the debts of students with incomes under certain minimal points...
...orange- tree saplings. "You know the Chinese were the first to grow orange trees," he says. "But like a good deal else that the Chinese invented first, they had forgotten how to do it." Today almost all the villages around Quan's 300-acre farm, which may be the largest private landholding in China, are growing oranges...

...restaurant would be the world's largest McDonald's outlet, with 900 seats. But the Moscow Mac's development has been a long slog, in part because of logistic and bureaucratic hassles. McDonald's may prove to be a hard sell to Muscovites, most of whom have never heard of a hamburger or couldn't afford one. Even so, last week's graduates were bullish. Says Khamzat Khazbulatov, 33: "We will bring back all the skills that result in excellent profits and sales...
