...were answered and old wives’ tales debunked (don’t worry, you can keep cracking your knuckles; if laureate Donald L. Unger didn’t get arthritis after 60 years of constant knuckle cracking, you won’t be getting it anytime soon either). Between the man—excuse me, human spotlight—wearing only silver body paint, sneakers, and a Speedo, not to mention the ongoing poker game, the mini-opera, and the constant multilingual interruptions, FM was not sure what to make of the corybantic stage. However, the crowd...
...soon enough, appeals to his patriotism convinced Dickerson, and for the past three years, he has taught special-education classes at Denver's East High School. He is just one of the thousands of older, second-career military retirees (the average age at first hire is 44) whom the program has channeled into the teaching profession.

(One recent tweet: "Great meeting & tour of the Capitol with [actress] January Jones, who is an advocate for sharks. I am a huge fan of Mad Men!") McCain's Oct. 6 exchange with Obama on Afghanistan was the clearest sign yet that the irascible "Mac" may truly be back...
...winnable seat. (He lost, however, to the incumbent, a Liberal Democrat.) Now a blogger and publisher and hoping for another crack at Parliament, Dale co-hosted the Pride event. In his view, sexual orientation has become "a nonissue in the Conservative Party." He adds, optimistically, that equality will soon be so firmly embedded in the party that "in another 10 to 15 years there will be no need for Pride to make a statement."
