Mongolian ponies prefer people to smell like goats and are spooked by cameras. Otherwise, they are fine for beginners. (They don't mind different saddles, so consider taking your own to replace the unforgiving wooden Mongolian model.) Try to visit in July for the Naadam, or manly sports, festival of archery, wrestling and horse racing. The events were begun by Genghis to ensure his hordes stayed sharp between maraudings, but these days jockeys can be as young as five and women compete in all but wrestling. Rides can also be planned to see ethnic Kazakhs hunting with trained eagles...
...regular Harvard employees. The second comprises workers employed by Harvard on a part-time or temporary basis. Their marginal status means that in addition to their low pay, they are ineligible for union membership, typically do not receive benefits, lack job security and work fewer hours than they prefer. The third group includes subcontracted workers whose de jure employer is a firm with whom Harvard holds a contract but whose de facto employer is Harvard. Members of the third group, who work in custodial, dining, parking and security jobs at Harvard, earn as little as $7 per hour, according...

But if they want something more, he expects at least $120 in cash. "We never talk about price beforehand," he says. "That...
...nothing personal, really. The South Park guys are actually sending up situation comedy, Mr. President. So when the George W. Bush character says to a prisoner he's about to execute, "Hey scum, ready to die by lethal injection? Maybe you'd prefer the gas chamber," and then farts in his face, you have to understand that they're actually deconstructing a sitcom trope. If anything, Mr. President, Trey Parker and Matt Stone think this is going to be a big boost to your image. "We wanted to take George Bush, who is somewhat vilified, and make him likeable," explains...
