...predict that Idol will generate as much as $155 million in the next three years in Britain alone, including ad revenue and record sales. In the U.S., Fox paid about $1 million an episode for American Idol's 25-show run, and such a sum seems very reasonable in retrospect. Ford, Coca-Cola, AT&T, Clairol and Old Navy, among others, have signed on as advertisers for this year's version...
...Pearl was imprisoned in a small, cinder-block house surrounded by a garden that, in retrospect, was one of the first places in Karachi the police should have searched. The garden was owned by a local businessman, Saud Memon, who was a well-known jihadi with ties to al-Rasheed Trust.

But then you play that CD back on the stereo, a few older, fatter years later. Your toe taps. A memory comes back. And you realize that in that nonsensical mess of cotton...
...humor is only part of Du Puy’s very un-Harvard attitude. “Freshman year I thought I would be so interesting,” says Du Puy, who describes himself as shy but unconventional. “But in retrospect, I haven’t been.” This comes from a classics and music concentrator who worked on his class’ first-year musical, has performed in several shows, rings the Lowell House bells, tried out for X-Rated “on a whim” and ended up being...
