...gift of $70 in cash - one third of a month's salary. Their dinner table is loaded with such tasty holiday treats as lotus root, fresh shrimp and carp, and the hall is festively bedecked with red and gold banners.

And despite the generosity of his employer, he confesses, he'd rather be elsewhere - eating a traditional reunion feast with his family in Shanghe county, then maybe watching the New Year...
...Quincy pilot project comes amidst a recent surge in universities that have removed trays from their cafeterias. St. Joseph’s College in Maine first introduced trayless dining this fall.

I was not sure I trusted an oddsmaker who wasn't willing to set a line on who would triumph at the apocalypse...
...voice was hoarse. His cheeks were splotched with wine-red daubs of what looked like clown rouge. He seemed a bit disheveled, wearing a light gray-green suit and a garish yellow tie, a costume more fitting for a used-car salesman than a former President. An aide told me that Clinton had pulled a Clinton the night before. Unwilling to stop campaigning after his last event, he had gone to the cafeteria at the University of South Carolina. About 15 kids were there, and they started texting their friends. Pretty soon several hundred kids had gathered, and Clinton held...
