...mind off what money must mean to the Chinese, and I still catch myself dividing price stickers by eight to check the price equivalent in dollars. But it’s rewarding to take advantage of it. I’m not here because I believe I can undo the societal kinks that make foundlings out of perfectly adorable children, or because I believe I can reform the orphanage system. In fact, I am pretty sure I can’t make a profound effect on either, and I try to be realistic about both my budget and time here...
...justices mostly ignored the political food fight over the DeLay plan. "It's impossible to take all partisanship out of the political process," wrote Justice David Souter said.

Some Florida GOP bosses cringed in March when...
...their Houses later tonight.Today also marks the first time that some blocking groups will be officially linked with others, as 87 blocking groups took advantage of the new neighborhood blocking option.According to Suzy M. Nelson, the associate dean for residential life, this new option will not “undo randomization” because House social programming and dining halls will still encourage people to meet others within their own House.At the same time, the option may help “foster increased interaction among Houses and allow friends to stay in contact more readily,” Nelson wrote...
