Here's a very useful link!

If you don't have time to slog through a daily newspaper but want to know what's happening in the world in a quick five minutes (you'll be able to drop pithy facts at work, on a date, at a party and have a real grasp of what's going on every day), sign up to receive a short and sweet daily newsletter called College Daybreak (but it's really for everyone). It will arrive in your inbox by nine in the morning and you will be up-to-date on current events in less time than it takes to read this rambling endorsement.  I've been loving it all week: http://bit.ly/d1sLKf
