...300lb giant. My room is large, but certainly designed for one inhabitant. So far, we’ve managed OK: I’ve given him a small corner, just between my door and my loveseat, with which to do what he pleases.

...Aero Engines is a recent example. The Munich-based company, which builds and services civil and military aircraft engines, used to be a part of Daimler. But after that company merged most of its aircraft operations with a French rival in 2000, MTU was left behind, an orphan inside the huge automaker.
