Another lot of houses rapidly constructed through public donations from Hungary started losing rafters, beams and windows even before the first tenants arrived. "Some of the houses were so bad, that no one could live in them," says Charles Rathnayake, a resident...

Many spend their summers away simulating missions and training rather than “swanking it up” in a New York City sublet. Some of these extraordinarily dedicated young people are my friends, and I’m privileged to know them.
