...disappointed that your cover story omitted the one Republican presidential candidate whose campaign is built on the very platform you claim conservatives wistfully long for: Representative Ron Paul of Texas. He is staunchly pro-life, and he advocates for smaller government, lower taxes and a humble foreign policy--the very points on which George W. Bush rode into office in 2000. Paul's positions are backed by a legislative career that spans 30 years. If conservatives want a genuine conservative candidate again, they need look no further than Paul. Chris Coggins, MACON...
...find it nearly impossible to say. They can state with some confidence that a woman with this kind of stage 4 disease, who has never been treated for cancer, faces approximately a 1 in 4 chance of being alive five years after treatment. But the odds are different - and lower - for someone who has already been treated and in whom the cancer is recurring. That's because the tumor cells that have continued to grow are resistant to whatever drug treatment has already been used...
...arboreal splendor. What they do not see is the arduous, meticulous process of getting it there, a job largely left to New Jersey landscaper Marc Torsilieri. For 25 years Torsilieri and his team felled the Norway spruce--usually 80 ft.--plus--and prepared it for moving by hinging lower limbs and scurrying to its upper extremities to tie up delicate branches.

There are less eleemosynary reasons to chance a private loan. You can generally command a higher rate than you would get with a bank CD, even while offering the borrower a lower rate than would be available through a bank. Radena Stager, 28, borrowed $440,000 from her parents two years ago to purchase a home in Cupertino, Calif. She's paying a fixed rate of 4.9%, vs. the 5.9% market rate at the time. "I'm in more house than I could ever have afforded on my own," she says. Mom and Dad, meanwhile, are enjoying income above what...
...Crimson headed into spring break with a 6-5 non-league record. The team struggled to a 1-3 record on the West Coast, sweeping unranked San Francisco before losing to Fresno State, Arizona State, and Pepperdine. After returning to Cambridge with a losing record and a lower ranking, Harvard promptly went 7-0 in the Ivy League to capture the championship. Similarly, it is difficult to predict how the Crimson will do in California this year—and what results from the far side of the country might mean for the team’s Ivy League hopes...
