...charged with tension. The overall effect is musical. Bono is taking a room filled with economists, mathematicians and policy experts and levitating it. When he finishes, the room hovers in silence for a moment. Then there is laughter, as if everyone had just got off an amusement-park ride. "Facts," he says, "are very beautiful." But only Bono can make them sing...
...attributed to pop stars. Bono, 45, spends his evenings lifting people to their feet, but offstage, he can be almost aggressively grounded.

With their usual precision and fey wit, Park and his Aardman colleagues have created a horror-romance that owes as much to Jane Austen's social comedies...
...plans to earn her degree in education policy and management in June 2006, collaborated with Citizen Schools, a Boston-based organization that manages after-school programs aiming to educate and empower youth. London-Thompson led a project that videotaped sixth graders at William Barton Rogers Middle School in Hyde Park as they spoke about their ideal superintendent. The students also learned about school administration issues and eventually interviewed officials at the superintendent’s office—as well as Thomas Payzant, the current superintendent. These interviews—as well as interviews with students—are combined...
