...lawyer for life, but get a great grade on your boards and guess what - you have to take them again 10 years later or lose your certification. And that's every 10 years until you quit or die. Board exams are really hard - they stress rare things and subtle differences that even a very good, very busy doctor would not automatically know from being "in the business." In other words, you have to study a lot to pass them. (Not something I look forward to doing, a fourth time, when I'm 60.) Unlike the immediately useful, practical and admittedly...
With its distinctive silhouette, Silolona lends an incredible sense of romance to sailing around far-flung Indonesian islands. But its traditional style doesn't mean any sacrifice of mod cons. Five staterooms are decorated with rare Indonesian textiles and crafts from Seery's collection. Guests also enjoy a library, a sizable sundeck, a full range of diving equipment and a dining area where chef Bill Collier's superbly executed Western cuisine - with Asian accents - is something to look forward to after a day of diving or excursions on shore...

(Less than half of them have been recovered.) That same year, former Clinton national security adviser Samuel "Sandy" Berger was fined $50,000 after...
...maps by the 17th century French military engineer and cartographer Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan, whose works were used as “authoritative” depictions of Ukrainian borderlands for at least 150 years, Seegel wrote in an e-mail. Krawciw’s collection also boasts rare maps of Crimean War battle plans and propaganda maps. “One of Krawciw’s rules of thumb—which he seemed to have violated occasionally—was that he never wanted to spend more than $50 on a single map acquisition,” Seegel...
