...That sock in the arm soldered our friendship. In the next few years Mary and I met her twice more, both times under the aegis of society doyenne Phyllis Jenkins (who deserved, and got, her own memorial tribute on this site). On each visit, Jane remained the decorous charmer she so often played on stage, in the movies...
Walking out of the doctor's office to her car, Clare Marie Ackroyd slipped on wet grass, fell and broke her right shoulder. When she got home from the emergency room later that day, her arm was in a sling, and she couldn't dress herself, fix a meal or even sign a check. That's an inconvenient situation for anyone, but for someone who lives alone, it can be a total nightmare. Ackroyd, 62, is divorced and has only one child, who lives in England, but her eight-week convalescence has been far easier than she expected. Ackroyd lives...
...some arenas, such as New York’s historically torpid political milieu, fusion voting has provided a much needed shot in the arm. Once-marginalized parties such as the Working Families Party, the Conservative Party, and the Independence Party have become forces in local and statewide elections. In a few important races where they cross-endorsed a mainstream candidate, votes under their aegis even proved decisive. Sen.

...thoughts on the world economy are worth listening to. The group comprises 96 companies, including the world's second largest tea business (Tata Tea); Asia's largest software firm (Tata Consultancy Services); a steel giant (Tata Steel); a worldwide hotel chain (Indian Hotels); and a sprawling vehicle-manufacturing arm (Tata Motors) that includes a bicycle factory in Zambia and a project to make a car selling for $2,200. Since Ratan Tata became chairman in 1991, he has multiplied Tata group revenues seven times to an annual $22 billion. Since 2000, the group's market value has multiplied almost...
...week earlier is a very generous offer. Since taking control of Ryanair in 1994, you've built a successful short-haul business. Why buy a long-haul operator? Aer Lingus is not a long-haul operator. It's a short-haul airline with a small long-haul arm - 85% of its traffic is short-haul, high-cost. We believe we can transform Aer Lingus by reducing its costs and its fares for the benefits of consumers everywhere. You sued the British government for losses you attribute to security measures imposed after August's foiled terrorist plot. Where's the balance...
