...wildest dreams I cannot imagine what the impact will be," says Larry Walter, principal of El Dorado High School. If its 320 seniors include some scions of old oil money, there are also "kids who simply could not afford to go to college, and others who were limited in their choices" because of the expense involved. For example, there is one gifted young woman whose family's resources could not accommodate her dream of Notre Dame - until now. "Another six thousand dollars a year - that makes it possible," Walter says...
...them. Clever doctors watching their incomes melt away have taken notice, establishing all sorts of lucrative NRWAT practices. They've become chiropractors, osteopathic manipulators, prolotherapists, postural therapists, acupuncturists, even Therapeutic Touch practitioners. Each of these therapies proclaims the existence of force fields, bodily reactions, energies or auras that simply cannot be measured or observed scientifically. The "patients" who pay these docs run the gamut from the hopelessly deceived to the downright self-indulgent.

Eliot’s second 20 years were nowhere near as productive as his first twenty years. Eventually, faculties develop an immunity to even the most compelling and creative...
...dizzy spin campaign in the Vice President's office. What's more, everyone involved seems to have overlooked the fact that a leak of the identity of an undercover officer can be against the law. This is a law that even most journalists think is reasonable. This law cannot be enforced if one of the parties to an illegal conversation is protected by the Fifth Amendment's right against self-incrimination and the other party, as journalists wish, is protected by a reporter's First Amendment immunity from testifying. Journalists have secrets, and government intelligence agencies have secrets. Journalists seem...
