...keep tricking these people. “I’m not tricking them,” she snapped back. “It’s the big corporations that are tricking them. Tricking them into thinking that money can buy happiness. This retail hysteria makes me sick.” Come on, don’t be such a grinch. There must be something you want for Christmas. “There are two things on my list: a bullhorn and The Anarchist’s Cookbook.” Some people want to make Christmas cookies...
Scott Tind Simmons was at his office in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, when he started to feel sick. By the time he got to bed, his flu-like symptoms gave way to achy joints and feverish dreams. That's when he got suspicious that he had dengue fever, the mosquito-borne virus that, in its deadly form, causes blood to seep from the bloodstream into tissue and eventually from the body's orifices.

But let’s face it: Michigan came into Lavietes Pavilion expecting to run all over a Harvard team that has never been good against Ivy League opponents, let alone Big Ten squads. For the Wolverines, this was more of a scrimmage...
...ever get sick of writing and want to try something else? -Ian Kachemov, Highland, MD I have no idea what I would do if I wasn't a writer. It is the best job in the world. I never get sick of it. I think you can get tired-I know I do-of the business around the writing, but not of the actual process of sitting down at the keyboard and working. If you don't love it, I don't know why you would do it, because it is very hard work. It is also solitary work-your...
