Errichiello and Thompson, 21, were born only weeks apart. 8220;Our families have known each other our whole lives, so it’s cool to know that they’ll be able to see each other around the holidays,” said Amanda Errichiello, 23, Michael’s sister. “It makes our mothers less nervous to know that at least they have each other. I know they will be okay. Errichiello, an aircraft mechanic, was stationed at the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Oak Harbor, Wash. before he was assigned to the Theodore Roosevelt. He is scheduled to board a plane in Virginia on Sept. 8220;We’re so proud,” said Thompson’s parents, Peter and Heather. Thompson shipped out Sept. 8 on the Theodore Roosevelt, which sailors sometimes refer to as “the T. David Errichiello, Michael’s father, said, “I told him before he left that in my opinion, God is directing him there for a purpose. 8220;Going into the service is the best thing he could have done. ...

L.A. News. Business. Crime. Education. Just a few days ago, we posted about the lavish retreat the execs from AIG American General enjoyed mere weeks after their parent company threw itself on taxpayers' mercy and accepted a massive $85-billion bailout. (One of our favorite blogs, The O.C. Now, word of that slice of the lush life has trickled down to Congress, where our elected officials aren't too thrilled. Our own Rep. Henry Waxman, who just happens to chair the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, took AIG to the woodshed, then promptly posted the itemized list of expenses. Rooms: $139,000, with an addition $2,900 on tips. Banquets cost $147,000. The spa bill came to close to $25k, which makes the $6k spend on miscellaneous meals and room service seem positively thrifty by comparison. AIG said the company involved is a subsidiary, not in financial turmoil, and anyway, the whole junket was planned a year ago. Waxman, needless to say, was not amused."In each cas...

But, like the first debate, neither candidate seemed to make a major mistake or land a sound-bite-worthy punch that has the potential to change the race as it speeds toward its November 4 conclusion. It's true," Obama said. "There are some things I don't understand. I don't understand how we ended up invading a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, while Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda are setting up base camps and safe havens to train terrorists to attack us. That was Senator McCain's judgment, and it was the wrong judgment. When Senator McCain was cheerleading the president to go into Iraq, he suggested it was going to be quick and easy, we'd be greeted as liberators. In a format that is more comfortable for McCain, the candidates were seated on stools in a small theater on the campus of Belmont University in Nashville, surrounded on three sides by a horseshoe of 80 uncommitted voters who submitted questions, along with queries from Internet users. The first hour of the debate fo...

By Michael C. Editor’s note: For the benefit of the freshmen, below is a brief history of The Dartmouth Review. Upon reading this, if freshmen are interested in joining ranks with us, but missed our freshman open house, stop by our office for our weekly meeting: 6:30 p.m., Monday nights, 38 South Main Street (behind Ledyard Bank). So, you’re reading this article and clearly ignoring all the best advice shared with you by your trip leaders, the DOC, and whatever other undergraduate who sits you down to explain the ways of Dartmouth. Congratulations, you’ve managed not to listen to them. Now, it would be easy to be as dismissive of them as they are of us (except when the need for outrage is too great to feign ignorance), but they do have a point when they say that The Review has been setting the campus dialogue, for better or worse, since its founding 27 years ago. Perhaps because The Review was born out of controversy it became destined to remain near the center of it. We need...

Home U.S. Arts & Entertainment Autos Books Fashion Food & Drink Sports Travel WSJ. News & Trends Career Strategies Journal Women Office Life EXECUTIVE M.B.A. Susan Davis reports from Nashville, Tenn., on the presidential debate. Barack Obama’s campaign did not like it when rival John McCain referred to the Illinois senator as “that one” during tonight’s presidential debate. McCain made the remark tonight when discussing a 2005 Senate vote on an energy bill. “There was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies, and it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney. You know who voted for it? You might never know. That one,” he said, pointing to Obama. “You know who voted against it? Obama campaign manager David Plouffe also referenced the remark in his post-debate statement. “John McCain was all over the map on the issues, and he is so angry about the state of his campaign that he referred ...
