...things that count." Some of his suggestions--use the phone instead and institute a No E-Mail Day--are blindingly obvious. But Ellwood is also effective at challenging the utility of beloved functions like the autoresponder (it notifies senders that you're out of the office, but becomes chain mail if you're on a mailing list) and the reply-all function. (Bosses are interested in results, not all the correspondence it took you to get there, he writes.) You don't have to respond to every acknowledgment or thank-you note. Oh, and before you forward a virus warning...
...disorder called Williams syndrome which, among other things, leaves him literally without a sense of direction. Kazuki's older sister, Mohi, is even more rudderless: the extent of her ambition seems to be part-time prostitution. At the head of this clan is Hidetomo, the almost comically loathsome pachinko-chain owner and abusive drunkard who views his children as "nonperforming assets." Hidetomo's malevolence goes unnoticed outside his family, however, as he sits on the board of trustees at Kazuki's "crassly commercial" school and is very chummy with the chief of police...

Analysts say Mokhtar is consolidating his publicly listed holdings under the wing of diversified investment holding vehicle Malaysia Mining Corporation (MMC), which is also taking control of the privately held container port company PTP. Controlling stakes in all three public companies were either bought from the government or with...
...beaded pancake as the transsexuals teeter in stiletto heels on the turf. Miss Nigeria has an Afro wig, Miss England a ball gown and crown. Miss Japan is mincing in a kimono. Miss America has a jerry-rigged hula skirt that threatens to fall down. A thick papier-machE chain is snipped with giant scissors, and its two halves waft skyward, borne by rafts of balloons. It seems an unnecessarily sadistic bit of symbolism in a prison, but no one is paying much attention. With the Klong Prem World Cup officially under way, the teams take the field, looking...
