WHISTLE-BLOWERS USUALLY HAVE A HARD TIME REINVENTING THEMSELVES. NO MATTER WHAT, THEY ARE VIEWED AS DISLOYAL. HOW DID YOU ESCAPE THAT FATE? Don't know. The truth came out, and it came out in spades. The movie helped. I became a poster boy. I think the egregious behavior [of tobacco companies]--that it went on for decades. I think people got angry. There is also a price that comes with that. My daughters understood what I did, and they're very proud. If my marriage had been strong enough, it might have withstood it too. But it didn...

His job is to help students who have event plans make their visions come to fruition, not to teach Harvardians to do keg-stands...
Among the quips from celebrities about what makes them happy, I was struck by what conservative gadfly Ann Coulter said: "Liberals weeping, crying and threatening to move to Canada." Many a truth is spoken in jest. That is not the statement of someone who loves America as a free, diverse melting pot; those are the words of someone who cares only about people who totally agree with her. Coulter wants to see the rest of the population miserable or, better yet, gone from...
