...wealthiest avenues reveals the reasons for the deficit. To the north and south are neighborhoods of modest, well-kept homes that sell for less than $200,000 and bring in lower tax revenues. In short supply anywhere in town are land parcels given over to commercial or industrial taxpayers--testament to Webster's determination to preserve its residential character, and a big reason why property-tax revenue is relatively low and taxes are relatively high. "We missed the boat in the '50s and '60s, when we had a chance to annex some adjoining communities and develop them commercially," says Brian...
...best, if not the best coach. SR: Yeah, well, he's been on the National Team, he coaches the Olympics, he was on the National Team for 10 years. AM: Supposedly, they just kind of build the boat around him. SR: Well, he's incredible. I think a testament to Charlie's success is that he wins with very different groups of guys. I think we won five or six national championships in the 90s and they were obviously all different guys. And the fact that he can sort of create these crews out of raw athletes says...
...Reagan's life, one which would be hard to recreate within the confines of traditional biography. Morris, who thinks in terms of music, has infused the text with references to music--from "The Old Rugged Cross," Reagan's favorite hymn, to Liszt's Faust Symphony.

When three notes were played with the right hand, Morris wrote three paragraphs about Reagan. When the next three notes were played by the left hand, he wrote three...
...Garcias' sophomore effort is twenty-odd tracks of the mediocrity we've come to expect from those associated with Master P. Rise to Power is the newest testament to the sad consequences of a crew with one single (in this case, the title track) putting out a whole album: an hour of mediocre flow about tittie chasing, pistol whipping and dope dealing, something the brothers apparently know quite a bit about. Currently under federal indictment for conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine, the Garcia boys can count on more credibility for the thuggishness of their lyrics, even if Juvenile, Mystikal...
...very young when I first heard the word communist. The 13th Dalai Lama had left a testament that I read. Also, some of the monks who were helping my studies had been in monasteries with Mongolians. They had talked about the destruction that had taken place since the communists came to Mongolia. We did not know anything about Marxist ideology. But we all feared destruction and thought of communists with terror. It was only when I went to China in 1954-55 that I actually studied Marxist ideology and learned the history of the Chinese revolution. Once I understood Marxism...
