...foster children who are--or are likely to be--available for adoption. A quarter of the 568,000 children in state care in America, these kids tend to be older or in sibling groups; they are likely to have been severely abused or neglected, exposed to drugs and a slew of foster homes; they often have physical, emotional and behavioral problems. Sometimes they can't form attachments...
...world's hottest market for private armored vehicles. And for the largest U.S. armorer--O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt, based in Fairfield, Ohio--times are flush. For about $65,000, O'Gara will take your Cadillac and outfit it with bulletproof glass, high-tensile body plastic, a siren and a slew of other security accessories. Since 1996 the firm's Brazilian revenues have surged more than sevenfold, to $14.5 million last year. In November, O'Gara opened a new plant to nearly double output. How solid are the cars? "Nine of our customers were attacked last year," says O'Gara Brazil...

Bleeding-heart Neil wanted to follow suit, but Jeremy who is prudent forbade it. Neil Rudenstine could do nothing. What’s a president supposed to do in that kind of situation? And so once again, Neil was torn between corporate necessities and his native impulses. He understood his position and that event, like so many others, must have acted like a wedge between the human being behind that gaunt physique...
...spring, Harvard had pretty much the same team on paper as one year ago. Freshman Lola Ajilore was the only new face to the varsity line-up. Nevertheless, as the season progressed, Coach Gordon Graham found himself shuffling his players in and out of his roster due to a slew of injuries to top players. Both senior co-captain Sanaz Ghazal and sophomore No. 1 Sanja Bajin spent a portion of the season on the sidelines nursing nagging injuries. Harvard showed a great deal of flexibility and resiliency to end the year on a high note, three matches above...
