Primakov himself departed office with a joke and affectionate applause from his Cabinet. But he could afford to smile: by firing him, Russians say, Yeltsin boosted Primakov's chances of being the next President. Aides say Primakov has not yet made up his mind about the future. Yeltsin, however, does not have the luxury of choice. He has to keep fighting, and that is becoming ever harder for him. Despite claims, more often heard in Washington than in Moscow, that "Boris is back" in the driver's seat, his physical health and mental lucidity are often open to question. After...

Was volunteerism going to be cool? Not just little old ladies with time on their hands but also people in their prime taking precious moments away from their cell phones and Stairmasters...
...girlfriend on the dance floor of the Hong Kong. I know it's cheesy, but we met at Senior Bar, 99 days before graduation. I admired her smile from across the dance floor; she tells me that she admired my bravery in asking her to dance. We hit it off and we've been enjoying each other's company ever since...
