...dark Saturday night in a parking lot in Lake Charles, La. about 12 hours after Hurricane Rita tore through here, and Columbus, Ohio Fire Department Capt. Jack Reall is briefing his 35-person FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Team. "What you see is what you got. We have no idea what's going to happen," except that the promised roof to sleep under isn't going to work out. Nearby, McNeese State University's Burton Coliseum, most recently used to house those affected by Hurricane Katrina, is dark, with standing water and no working bathrooms, and is strewn with personal...
...wrong to critique the conceptual basis of History 10a, for its probable goal is not to take a historiographical stance, but instead to fill the minds of all participants with the dates when Caesar was killed, Charlemagne crowned, and Columbus welcomed to the Caribbean. Such a pathetically humble goal can in fact be accomplished by reading a history textbook or two and should take no more than a week. In an undergraduate curriculum, it can be achieved in more imaginative ways, such as through a distributional requirement: one could, for instance, expect concentrators to take a pre-1500 class...
...mortar-and-pestle-decorated shop that Fiske plans to expand to some 150 locations nationwide, is a radical departure from Bath & Body Works' traditional single-brand, single-price-point strategy.

But over the years she got tired of products that barely changed from season...
That would be no small accomplishment for a man whose first job inside corporate America started the day he showed up at the Limited's Columbus, Ohio, headquarters to take the reins as Bath & Body Works CEO. After a childhood in Denver and a double major in economics and political science at Williams College, Fiske went to work in Washington as a congressional speechwriter. After that was Harvard Business School, and then a job at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where he met Wexner, who was shopping around for consultants. Fiske spent his last six years at BCG working mainly...
...nasa got it right. After all, the International Space Station has been restocked, the new safety systems (cameras, sensors, etc.) worked perfectly, and all seven American astronauts are back on solid ground, having been confident that the agency had the ability to get them home safely. Emily J. Chambers Columbus, Georgia, U.S. You wrote about the safety concerns plaguing nasa's space-shuttle program [Aug. 8]. I was among the millions of people around the world who watched the touchdown of the shuttle Discovery on television. The craft's journey to space and back was another stride in mankind...
