...Cleveland and Cleveland ever spoken, it would have been a decidedly one-way conversation, since they were the same man. But you wouldn't know it from American history books. Right there in the great march of Presidents, from Washington at No. 1 to Bush at 43, is Cleveland clocking in at 22 and then again--like a presidential whack-a-mole--at 24. We're a country with 43 Presidents, but only 42 men have held the job. The two President Bushes affectionately refer to each other by the nicknames 41 and 43, but the fact is, they...

For the same journeys, flights take approximately the same amount of time as ICE, but are cheaper in Europe than in the U.S. because airlines have to compete with train fares. After adding time for transport to the airport, security and check-in, ICE is very time-competitive with...
...flaw in the Ivy League’s recruitment and commitment process stems from the arrangement used instead of the letter of intent. This system relies on what is known as a “likely letter”—a one-way written commitment, mailed by deans of admission to high school seniors who have already made a verbal commitment to a coach. The letter, which can be mailed at almost any date, confirms that the athletes are likely to be admitted come April. But Jeff Orleans, the executive director of the Ivy League, confessed...
