...Neither Blagojevich nor any of the power brokers who spoke with him in recent weeks should underestimate Fitzgerald, the no-nonsense federal prosecutor who brought down vice-presidential aide Lewis (Scooter) Libby in 2007 and has a record of following facts wherever they lead, flipping criminals into witnesses and forcing reporters behind bars if they don't give up their sources. Fitzgerald has made clear that his investigation is far from complete. In his probe of public corruption in Illinois, he has already brought charges against 15 people, including Blagojevich's predecessor, former governor George Ryan...

In his debut music video, “Head of My Class,” Smiff declares himself to be, well, the head of his class. His claim to fame as a dancer attracts all the ladies, despite...
...technician prepping for his GMAT exam. "If you're talking of business today, India is the place to be," he says, smiling. "But the challenge for the country is to take everyone along." And with that, Iyer picks up his duffel bag and helmet, and sets out on his scooter for Badarpur, a village on the outskirts of New Delhi where he gives free math and science lessons to secondary school students from economically challenged families...
