...still here, you’ll be okay.” He pointed to a gangly 20-year-old stuffing his face with a day-old cornetto. Giuseppe waved, and the powdered sugar stuck to his puffed cheeks blew into the wind. The chef handed me a double-breasted uniform when I showed up that night for the dinner shift. After a brief tour of the kitchen, he introduced me to the other cooks in the kitchen.

...passage of the Federal Uniform Drinking Age Act (FUDAA) in 1984 placed pressure on states to adopt a minimum legal drinking age of 21 by October 1986, or sacrifice 10 percent of their allocated federal funding for highway construction. Many states had lowered their drinking age from 21 to 18 in the 1970s—coinciding with the passage of the 26th Amendment by which citizens age 18 and older were granted voting rights.

Among states that adopted the 21 minimum because of the government incentive, there has been no measurable reduction correlation with teen TFRs. Moreover, decreases in TFRs over...

They were just the beginning of what should be a star-studded collegiate career. Friday’s game over Davidson served not only as the team’s first victory and a potential momentum-builder for a packed slate of non-conference matchups, but also as Baskind?...
First, we need to create opportunities to serve. I'll ask more young people to serve in uniform and expand the size of our military. And I'll increase AmeriCorps--our network of local, state and national service programs--from 75,000 slots...
