...bathroom into a double. They will grin and bear the pain of using the floor as a desk, since the College will have sold off their dorm furniture to pay for bigger touch-screens in the dining halls. And they’ll smell terrible, since Harvard will have shut off their shower to conserve water and make the campus “greener.” But at least they will have four glorious years in Harvard Square, that mecca of neighborhood banking and tortilla-wrapped fast food...
...Regis, Hill has continued to have face-to-face meetings with the North, along with handling diplomatic affairs with a sweep of other East Asian and Pacific countries. As the talks have made more headway, Hill has gotten greater latitude from the Administration. With some balking, the North has shut down its nuclear reactor at Yongbyon. Recent talks have dangled carrots before Pyongyang like promising deliveries of heavy fuel oil in exchange for further denuclearization. The New York Philharmonic's visit to North Korea in February is not a direct result of Hill's work, but the event would surely...
Hill, 55, began his careful diplomatic dance back in July 2005, when the six-party talks--which included both North and South Korea, the U.S., Japan, Russia and China--were stalled.

And as they watched, Cyrus' concert-movie audience did something remarkable: they behaved as if it were a real show. Singing along, dancing, reaching for confetti that was falling only onscreen, the Hannah Montana fans were, yes, 8-year-olds on a sugar high...
...candidates' platforms are so alike, in fact, that they both point to the same example - a plant in Fairless Hills outside Philadelphia that revamped its business to make wind turbines after its steel operations shut down. Clinton held a rally there with 2,500 supporters Monday night, her voice echoing off of the building's massive corrugated frame. "A lot of big facilities like U.S. Steel and others have shut down or dramatically cut back, and we've lost a lot of jobs," Clinton told the crowd. "And so what we see here is a perfect example of the people...
