Your funding comes from various ministries, and individual donors. What about businesses? They are conspicuously absent. Apart from McDonald's - which donated over 3150,000 to us after one of its restaurants was bombed in Brittany - no private business has accepted our appeals for funds. Not even big companies whose property, employees, and customers have been victimized by terrorism. After Sept. 11, companies from the U.S. and Europe - including most airlines - flocked to us for insight on the legal, medical, and insurance experience and partners we've had over time. We were very popular, right up until we asked...
...sure to save a roll of film for Polonnaruwa's star attraction at Gal Vihara. Four colossal Buddhas carved out of a single granite cliff exude a serenity notably absent in the packs of young men patrolling the enclosure. (Single women beware.) Those staying the night should try the Polonnaruwa Rest House, tel: (94-27) 22299, a spacious colonial establishment with fine views of the lake.

During a reception for the outgoing department chair, Winthrop says of the absent Sanders: “And where is he today? He’s probably still working on that rap record...
...book opens with Lily Maier, age thirteen, moving (again!) into a "stupid," "ugly" house that looks like all the others. With a mostly absent father and a mother with two small children to watch, Lily has little to do with her family short of getting into near-comical spats with her slightly younger sister. "Summer of Love" moves along as Lily navigates new friends and new feelings of love while trying not be outcast or gain a bad reputation. Though it takes place in the late 1960s, nothing much has changed about the suburban teenage life except that they apparently...
