...then, Middleton, born and raised in London, wrote about urban life in a dialogue that's more familiar to the modern ear. A latter-day Scorsese, he walked on the dark side of the street, where you couldn't tell the good guys from the bad. "Part of the appeal of Shakespeare is that he takes you back to some imagined, glorious past," says Taylor. "But Middleton is overwhelmingly modern. He writes about a world that we immediately understand, in terms of money, politics, sex. Read a Middleton play and it's like it was written yesterday...

...along with a set of seemingly intractable problems to solve. Depending on which camp a senior aligns herself with, either those who choose the corporate world are venal or those who don’t are naïve.

...Much also depends on how you define "firm." To be enacted, the principle of non bis in idem requires that the sentence in the first case be "firm" - that is, that it can no longer be appealed through normal judicial routes. In his sentence, Bermúdez referred twice to the firmness of the Italian conviction, justifying the acquittal in part on the assertion that the sentence that Osman received - 10 years in prison - could not be changed. However, two days before Bermúdez presented that verdict, an appeals court in Milan did just that, reducing Osman's sentence...
