...Crimson sailing team. They always call me back, even when I don’t start my story until two hours before the deadline. Women’s captain Megan Watson has patiently explained pretty much every basic essential about sailing to me (and I’m sure to every other person who’s ever covered the sport). Freshmen Emily Lambert and Annie DeAngelo were probably my two most enthusiastic interviewees of all time when I wrote a feature on them earlier this fall. And the thank-you email I got from Elyse Dolbec...
...where people were angry at the incumbent party. At the end of the day, I don't think there is another Republican that the party could have nominated that could have made this a competitive race the way that John McCain did." "It's one thing we know for sure is that at a congressional level, the Senate Democratic majorities and the House Democratic majorities will expand," Schmidt said. "The party has been very unpopular. The President's approval numbers were not helpful in the race. But the party as a whole is unpopular with the American people, and that...
...colleagues at the other major networks surely have the same (lack of) ambition. News organizations are desperately trying to avoid the stumbles of 2000, when the networks botched the election by calling Florida for both Al Gore and George W.

During a trip to Japan last year, I had eaten a not insignificant number of these pastries, and I relished the opportunity to reacquaint myself with their virtues. But when I sidled up to a Tokyo store's cream-puff section - yes, there is a fridge shelf dedicated to this particular genre of baked goods in many Japanese groceries - to my great distress, my favorite dessert was nowhere...
...Although public talk of a "crisis" is taboo unless applied to "the collapsing West," one sure sign of the state of things is the fare on offer at local antique stores - usually unimpressive when things are going well. Moscow's major annual antique fair had stunning pieces on offer last month, though there didn't seem to be many takers. That's hardly surprising, of course: while banks and companies are laying off managers and white-collar staff by the hundreds, heavy industries are laying off blue-collar workers by the thousands. The GAZ auto works in Nizhni Novgorod...
