...detailed economic analysis is not sufficient for you (sophists), then take the fact that I just really don’t like cereal. Soggy, generic, multicolored grain rings will never appeal to me. And while I don’t mind some wheat toast and a hardboiled egg, I’m not sure that will sustain my palate five days a week for an entire semester. What can I say—I’m from Maine, home to lumberjacks and lobstermen who know and promote the value of a big, heaping, hot breakfast to start...
Some might say, though, that the telethon isn't as lucrative a money-getting tactic as it once was. In fact, despite typical production goals of keeping costs at 25 cents to 33 cents of every donated dollar, it's hard to know how much donated money to bank on.

During a 1983 Democratic National Committee fundraiser, 800,000 of the 1 million callers rang in just to declare their support for their Republican President Ronald Reagan.

(Read about the strains with Spain's royal family...
...changed. If Letizia now dresses in brighter colors, tighter silhouettes, and with greater overall flair, she remains true to her signature high heel. Seldom photographed in anything lower than 3 inches, she is famous for her devotion to peep toes and platforms. So constant is that devotion, in fact, that when the princess wore ballet flats to a royal audience with students this summer, the gossip magazine Hola put the story at the top of its website. Whether her affection for the high heel is a fashion preference, or a necessity dictated by her husband...
