...over who wins and loses as U.S. companies build factories abroad misses the point. The shift of expertise and capital, they contend, is inevitable. "The underlying skills in China are so great that any American company that transfers technology will create rivals," says Roy ( Grow, a political scientist at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. The solution, Grow adds, is for American firms to develop new know-how faster than they can give away their skills...
...does not need to be this way. Schools like Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, Pomona, Willamette, Carleton and a host of other small liberal arts colleges seem to manage quite well without any TFs at all. They have small classes and professors who are available at almost any time without an appointment. Harvard, which claims to offer a "liberal arts" education, somehow seems unable to perform the same task while charging the same amount of money. It seems strange to argue that the education given to Harvard students by large lecture classes and an army of TFs can be comparable to that...
...which is probably why he made such a good one for so many years. Born in River Falls, Wisconsin, in 1941, Ames was part of a highly respected local clan. His paternal grandfather J.H.

...younger Ames' interest in spycatching may have been stoked by his father, a pipe-smoking member of the CIA counterintelligence staff created and run by the monomaniacal mole hunter James Jesus Angleton. But Carleton had an undistinguished career tracking communist parties and front groups. After he retired from the agency in the 1960s, few remembered much about him beyond his penchant for taking long naps at his desk. Still, the father, now dead, left one important legacy to the CIA: his son, who in 1962 signed on as a trainee...
...Felonies worry you to death, misdemeanors work you to death," says Mel Tennenbaum, a division chief in the Los Angeles public defenders' office. "We're underappreciated and misunderstood." L.A. lawyer David Carleton had his teeth loosened by a client who didn't like his plea arrangement. Manhattan's Judith White needs all seven days of the week to handle her load of drug cases -- a task she continues to tackle even since a crack addict murdered her father four years ago. When Lynne Borsuk filed a motion with Georgia's Fulton County Superior Court seeking to reduce her load...
