...open until midnight seven days a week. Qdoba’s flashy website provides a preview for students wondering what culinary creations will next hit the Square. A chicken taco salad features a “crispy flour tortilla bowl filled with shredded romaine, black bean corn salsa, picante ranch dressing, lite sour cream and choice of salsa.” Liwerant, a Mexico native and 1998 graduate of Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, said he was looking for a street-level location close to the Yard that was also handicap accessible. He said he helped design...
...common. His father was President, and her father served in Congress and then as mayor of Baltimore. They both came to politics later in life, and they both mean it when they say that elections are not everything; if they lose, life will go on. Bush has the ranch, and my mother has her grandkids. And, of course, some people have made the mistake of underestimating both of them...
...after he decided that the job amounted to little more than overseeing a vast bureaucracy rather than running a real intelligence operation. Bush didn't offer the Pentagon job to Gates until early last week. A little cloak-and-dagger was used to sneak Gates onto the President's ranch for his job interview: he was instructed to meet White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten and his deputy, Joe Hagin, at a supermarket parking lot in nearby McGregor, Texas, for the drive to Crawford.

The former heavyweight boxer shot to fame playing eerily calm, menacing heavies in films like Sudden Fear (Joan Crawford's deranged stalker) and Shane (a bullying gunslinger) in the 1950s. But his most memorable performance was at the 1992 Oscars. Accepting his award, Palance started to attempt a speech, then dropped to the floor, displaying his virility with a series of one-handed push-ups. Later asked what happened, he replied...
...With such a divided field, the governor's job has always been Perry's to lose. Thanks to Texas law, he only needs to win a plurality, not a majority, of votes. He certainly looks the part: rugged (he grew up on a West Texas ranch), athletic (he does triathlons) and telegenic. But the 56-year-old Perry, dubbed "Governor Good Hair" early on in his tenure, struggles to get respect. He preaches to the party choir (literally in some cases) on issues like God, guns and gays. He has advocated for - and won - a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage...
