Vince Camden is 36, single, broad shouldered and thin, like a martini glass. He has made a new life for himself in Spokane, Wash.--where he has been stashed by the FBI's witness-protection program--running a doughnut shop and selling weed and credit-card numbers on the side. His contact in the Spokane Police Department assures him that the mobsters he ratted out back East are all dead or dying and don't care about him anymore. So why is there a contract killer in town looking to put a bullet through his eye? Camden will eventually...
...were 16 when you told your parents you were gay. Why then? I had just broken up with my first girlfriend. I was distraught and decided to drown my sorrows in chocolate and sugar. I skipped school to go to a doughnut shop and was on my way back when I didn't see the red light until it was too late and got rear-ended in my '82 Toyota Starlet hatchback. I went home and told my mom first. I don't remember my exact words. It took her a couple minutes to realize this was not just...
...coming months, seniors' reviews of the program may also turn sour as they approach the "doughnut hole," the term given for the gap in coverage after a beneficiary receives the first $2,250 in Medicare payments. The senior then must pay the next $2,850 in costs until the bill reaches $5,100 and Medicare resumes paying. For many seniors who signed up early, the doughnut hole will soon arrive.

"Too many kids, at their exit interviews, say, 'I'm just done with this process--50 minutes, bell, 50 minutes, bell,'" says principal Zobel. "With the alternative school, I could...
Shelbyville, a town of almost 18,000 located on the outer fringe of the "doughnut" counties that ring Indianapolis, seems an unlikely battleground in the war on dropouts. Despite a few oddities--it's home to both the oldest living Hoosier and the world's tallest woman--it is an otherwise pleasantly unremarkable town. The capital is just a short drive away, but miles of rust-colored farmland, mainly cornfields waiting for seed, give the area a rural tinge. Most people live in single-family houses with yards and fences. Not many of them are very well off, but there...
