Kirkland has door-drop signs that allow students to check what kinds of publications they want in their basket, while most houses do not.

In 2000 the cutoff for the top 0.1% was $1.6 million...

Moved by these records, Munro has crafted an uneven but poignant collection of penetrating meditations that partially deal with the effects of religion and poverty on lives and attitudes across generations, but mostly focus on the intimate nature of identity, the way every detail of a life—worn linoleum, movie magazines, apple trees in bloom—becomes important...
