President Dmitri A. Medvedev gave an interview this week to Russia's most prominent opposition newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, whose journalists have crusaded against what they believe is an increasingly authoritarian government. Mr. Medvedev, asked whether he would try to ''rehabilitate'' democracy in Russia, demurred, according to an interview transcript released on Wednesday. ''The highly difficult political and economic processes of the 1990s became associated with the arrival of the key democratic institutions in our country for many of our fellow citizens, and for them, this was a very difficult time,'' he said. He added that: ''I do not think that we need to rehabilitate democracy. Democracy was, is, and will be.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Has the usually gregarious Herman Cain become camera-shy and taciturn, at least when it comes to meeting with newspaper editorial boards? It might seem that way. On Thursday, Mr. Cain, back in this early voting state for the first time since early October, was scheduled to meet with The Union Leader of New Hampshire for a one-hour question-and-answer session that would be videotaped for the paper's Web site. But Thursday morning, before a stop at a local diner, the Cain campaign objected to the videotaping, then sought to reduce the interview to 20 minutes. From there, a series of misunderstandings seem to follow. According to the campaign, the paper, disappointed about the changes, decided not to follow through. But according to the paper, it was the Cain campaign that canceled. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The author offers etiquette advice for participants in the academic hiring process on both sides. Her suggestions for applicants include giving the same answers to the same questions when asked by different individuals regardless of their position in the department or university hierarchy, leaving one's significant other at home or, if necessary, refraining from overly familiar interactions, and providing appropriate and organized information to people writing reference letters. For faculty interviewers she suggests not asking illegal or unethical questions and knowing what is permissible, assuming the person being interviewed could someday be a colleague, and informing unsuccessful candidates of the outcome rather than assuming they will guess it if they do not hear anything.

AS it sends up Matt LeBlanc's image, the Showtime comedy ''Episodes,'' about the making of a fictional network sitcom, skewers Hollywood as well: the waffling, the double talk and especially the inept suits who excel at both. But by the end of the show's first season, one of those suits -- played by Kathleen Rose Perkins -- started to seem less clueless than clued-in. Ms. Perkins's Carol Rance, a programming executive, spends a lot of her time managing not just fish-out-of-water writers (played by Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan) but also the moods of her network-chief boss (John Pankow), with whom she's having an affair. So she's a suit and a mistress -- and on paper, pretty unlikable. Mr. LeBlanc's character, the star of ''Pucks!,'' the show within a show, can't even remember her name. But Ms. Perkins has been proving memorable this season for turning Carol into a heroine by infusing her with neurotic vulnerabilities, a charming interest in good television and the occasional ability to ungrit her teeth just long enough to smoke a large joint. Writing in The New Yorker this month, Emily Nussbaum called her ''the show's secret weapon.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

LONDON -- When she went blind as a result of diabetes, Trish Vickers set out to fill the void in her life by writing poetry. Then she turned to writing a novel, her pen guided by a system of elastic bands stretched across the paper. With 26 pages written, and a plot that turned on a woman whose life implodes, she began to dream of finding a publisher. Then the dream imploded, too. When her son Simon visited her at her home, near the town of Lyme Regis in the Thomas Hardy country of Dorset, she showed him what she had written, and he gave her the bad news: Every page was blank. Her pen had run out of ink before she began, and what remained was an empty manuscript, void of all her imagination had captured. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jets are just about done laughing at linebacker Bart Scott's expense. They have all howled at his testosterone-soaked on-field interview with ESPN after the Jets beat the Patriots. Scott began the interview by imitating a jet plane and ended it screaming ''Can't wait!'' at the mention of going to Pittsburgh. Jerricho Cotchery, the quiet veteran wide receiver, said the interview was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Rex Ryan began a news conference Thursday by opening a sheet of paper and saying, with a big smile, ''I know everybody can't wait for the injury report.'' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

WHEN I think back to my job-hunting days, my methods seem as quaint as comparing a Victrola to an iPod. First, there was no Internet. I perused trade journals for job possibilities. I painstakingly typed my resume on a typewriter (electric) and had to retype -- and retype and retype -- when I made a mistake. I cut and pasted my newspaper clips, which I needed to send along with the resume, onto letter-size paper, which was like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle with a few pieces missing.

The article discusses a history course at Indiana State University that allows students to undertake original historical research. In the fall of 2004, the class produced a history of the black community of the Wabash Valley, including Lost Creek, a neighborhood of Terre Haute, Indiana, the city that is home to the university. The course stresses oral histories, and students have also interviewed local men with connections to the Holocaust, with one student's project eventually turning into a permanent exhibit at Terre Haute's Holocaust museum.

The article focuses on the move of the author from teaching to consulting. To get ready for the interview for her new job, the author scoured around for information about consulting. The author found out that some consultants travel extensively. When the author asked another friend about his consulting job, he said that he loved the work and traveled three to four weeks every month. That's the entire month, in the author's opinion. The author has a small son at home and a husband who already thinks that she works late too frequently. So taking a new job that involved traveling Monday through Thursday practically every week, was not going to work.

This article focuses on the treatment of job candidates by some institutions in the U.S. One of the safety-net jobs was at a public, regional institution. Most hiring committees in an advancement search check references by phone following the on-campus interview, not before it has even occurred.
