...rise in temporary hiring is one of the big structural shifts redefining the job market, according to a paper published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. By relying more on temps and contract workers in good times and bad, the report says, "all else equal, this approach yields a smaller permanent work force, more temporary workers and more permanent layoffs." The temp-services industry calls this "strategic staffing"--keeping a core group of full-timers while adding and subtracting temporary and contract workers as needed. Employees call it a new career path--or a raw deal that deprives...
...that lyricism is not a word in the Koolhaas vocabulary. His buildings can be fascinating, vexing, exciting, even annoying, but don't count on them to produce the indisputable new kind of beauty that you routinely get from Frank Gehry.

Concerned about an aging donor base, more than a dozen community foundations, from Hartford, Conn., to Albuquerque, N.M., are trying to attract the 25- to 45-year-old set through groups called future funds.

In 14 months, the company starting ringing up a profit, and the Fergusons were selling their salsa at festivals and bazaars, presenting their product to food stores and winning prizes, including the first-prize People's Preference Award at the International...
...John Paul too dogmatic in his approach to religion? I ask as one who is opposed to anything that comes close to fanaticism--and yet, in the end, the question is one for Catholics, not for me. Should he not take social issues into consideration when seeking to ban birth control, as many argue? Is he too anxious to sanctify Pius XII? These too are matters not for a Jew such as myself but for Catholics who remember the past. If they want to follow the example of Pius, whose silences worried a generation of believers, that is their choice...
