...private school and observed a class of 12-year-old students studying verbal analogies in anticipation of the SAT. I learned that they spend hours each month--directly and indirectly--preparing for the SAT, studying long lists of analogies such as 'untruthful is to mendaciousness' as 'circumspect is to caution.' The time involved was not aimed at developing the students' reading and writing abilities but rather their test-taking skills...
...there has been an emotional shift both on Wall Street and in boardrooms. What's changed is the level of arrogance that drove corporate governance to the precipice.

The bread was fresh, both crusty and chewy, and the meat was aromatic, flavored with pepper, garlic and other delightful things...
...Tarantino not only positions Kill Bill as a true moviegoer’s film, but it also directly affects the style of the action. From the first fight to last, no scene is performed or shot in the same cinematic style, and all are extremely exciting. The only caution is that, in the second half of the film, the blood and gore aspect of the violence is portrayed in an almost Monty Python-esque manner that, although appropriate in the “Movie World” context, can be off-putting and even unintentionally humorous. Nonetheless, the Kill Bill?...
