...That?s right. From Microsoft to Big Tobacco to our very own government, nothing wounds a giant more reliably than some candid internal documents ?- and this case is no different. Some of the uncovered memos attest to Justice?s knowledge that it was breaking the 1945 law; others point even further, to two sets of books: one for the payroll department and another for supervisors, who tallied up overtime hours as a measure of a lawyer?s efforts. The case will be defended by other Justice Department lawyers, lawyers who stand to get paid more if they lose...
...most innocent activities will attest to it just the same. For example, backpackers will be familiar with the intensely enjoyable experience of speed-reading through a non-stop, ever-changing flow of strangers. We band to navigate the foreign landscapes, bond to negotiate the lonely timespans, and then each one gets on the train to shuttle off towards more people to whom to say goodbye.

Just as a lot of actors think they can direct, a lot of parents think their two-year-olds can splatter paint as well as Jackson Pollock.

...anyone anywhere in the world can attest to ? except quite possibly in Washington, where the current HMO debate is raging ? the best medical treatment isn?t worth anything if you can?t afford it.

The new treatment uses the drug nevirapine, whose costs amounts to about $4, instead of the standard, short-course AZT regimen used in the Third World, whose costs total...
...everything with a grain of salt, and don't be afraid to hear yourself muttering the words, "It's not that big of a deal. I'm 18, and I've got plenty of time left." Believe me, as a senior, just three years ahead of you, I can attest to it. This summer, I have several promising jobs, including (paid!) work at ESPN, The Wall Street Journal, and CBS Sports, plus a new girl on the horizon. Not bad for a guy who once thought that love and fame were well beyond his reach...
