...Rahilly hopes the museum will stir up pride in Irish folklore rather than provoke anger at the price tag. What he's created, after all, is not a conventional museum but an evocative sculptural installation based on themes from leprechaun mythology. In addition to the Fort Knox crock, the museum has a rain room, where sound effects and lighting make it feel as if Ireland's most abundant natural resource is splattering down around visitors, and a leprechaun well that appears to be infinitely deep, thanks to the help of multimedia screens and video cameras.

...caucus to maintain Lieberman's seniority and preserve his committee chairmanship. That proved to be wise - mostly. In early 2009, Lieberman helped rescue Obama's $787 billion stimulus bill. Maine Republican Susan Collins had walked out of talks with Senate majority leader Harry Reid over the bill's price tag.

And while that may be fine for foreign tourists, analysts say the high fee to be imposed...
...right. If the middle-school cafeteria is the setting for your recurring nightmares, you can spend decades as a preteen in your head, refining the snappy comeback that you never mastered at the time. What is a midlife crisis if not an adolescent rebellion with a bigger price tag? And our culture conspires to add to the confusion, now that...
