I have run the gauntlet in the college journalism world.

When Richard Paul Evans was a boy, his family was uninsured and he was sleeping on the floor outside the kitchen. Money was tight because his dad had been injured at work and he was the provider for a family of 10.

Now Evans is a multi millionaire who has 42 sources of income, 12 consecutive New York Times best-selling books and his novels have been made into television productions. While listening to the "wealthiest man he knew," Evans took notes and decided to apply what he learned to his life. By the time he was 16, he had paid for a car with cash. By 18, Evans had enough money to pay for college and a church mission. By 30, he was a multi millionaire.

Does the party challenge its "Jeffersonian" principles by going against the popular vote and give the nomination to Clinton based on perception among the party elite?

'Sarah Marshall': A Chick Flick for Guys?

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" definitely proves that the vulnerable, yet still horny side of a man can be sad and funny at the same time.

Segel's character is a music composer whose works include creating ominous and cool theme songs for terrible action cop sitcoms. His now-ex-girlfriend is the main star of a disaster cop show. It's hard forgetting about your ex when you see her everyday on the screen while you figure out what crappy song you'll play next for her show.
