Correction: The original version of this story said that American Family Insurance pulled its advertising from Jersey Shore. It did not. The company's business association with MTV was scheduled to end on Dec. 6, two days after the show premiered...
That's why the Catholics could learn a thing or two from the Convicts right now. By once more making such a hysterical search for the reincarnation of Knute Rockne - and by paying Weis an obscene $15 million or more to go away - Notre Dame loyalists risk looking like the petty boosters of a football factory instead of the thoughtful backers of an elite university that regularly cracks the academic top 20 today. And the country today needs Notre Dame the university far more than it needs Notre Dame the football team. That fact shone like the school's Golden...
...restaurant is housed below the wooden beams of a renovated dockside warehouse and its mildly ramshackle appearance belies two Michelin stars, as well as the fact that it was named third best restaurant in the world on the prestigious annual list put out by Restaurant magazine.

Government efforts to control Mapuche protests have backfired. Recent raids by special forces of the carabineros, the national police, have scored arrests of Mapuche leaders but also provoked charges of brutality after the shooting of children, journalists and other bystanders. Three Mapuches youths have been killed, and Caifal claims two others were shot in the eyes. What's more, whereas left-wing terrorist groups garnered little public sympathy during Pinochet's rule, opinion polls in Chile today show widespread support for Mapuche efforts to regain land...
