James Sanchez, 21, from the dusty high-desert town of Espaņola, N.M., is a senior at Davidson College in North Carolina and an aspiring neuroscientist. He figured that at a bigger school he would have been lucky to spend his lab time washing beakers for the star scientists. At Davidson, where there are no grad students, Sanchez's senior thesis is an integral part of a larger three-year study of memory and learning in rats that may offer new insights into Alzheimer's. His professor anticipates that the research will be published in a top-shelf neuroscience journal...
With their gorgeous traditional naxi clay roofs and stone courtyards, the 55 villas at the Banyan Tree resort, banyantree.com, have become the ne plus ultra of accommodation in mountainous Lijiang, a historic southwestern Chinese town and designated World Heritage Site.

...Senator, who works in Washington, strives for quality time with her fellow Chappaquans. She concentrates her limited time in town on organized events. She presided at the swearing-in of Janet Wells, town supervisor of New Castle (which includes Chappaqua) both times Wells was elected to that post. There's the citizenship induction she led as First Lady, the storytime for tots she held the day she picked up her public-library card, the reading from her memoirs. Earlier this year the Chappaqua School Foundation gave Hillary its inaugural "It Takes a Village" award (named after the senator...
