Also in the Square, the Grolier Poetry Book Shop on Plympton Street first opened in 1927 and quickly became a favorite of poets like E. E. Cummings, Class of 1915, and T. S. Eliot, Class of 1909. It remains one of only two not-for-profit bookstores in the country. The Globe Corner Bookstore at 90 Mt. Auburn St. specializes in travel, while Revolution Books at 1156 Mass. Ave. sells primarily Communist literature. And Schoenhof’s Foreign Books, at 76 Mt. Auburn St. #A, founded in 1856, has the largest selection of foreign language books in the country...

That's because the fluctuation in the Forex is often so minimal that it would be difficult to see any real profit (or suffer significant loss) if trades were done in actual dollars. Brokers won't deal with you that...
...along international guidelines, much of the country's aid is tightly earmarked for specific projects or comes as physical goods instead of cash - fine for those projects, but a big constraint on how recipients can respond to emergencies and unplanned events. The U.S. scores high grades collaborating with non-profit organizations, and excellent grades promoting accountability - second only to the E.U. But it's bottom of the pack in implementing international humanitarian and human rights laws, having refused to ratify key international treaties. Survey responses - though generally more favorable to the U.S. than the hard-data indicators - also rank...
