...design philosophy is simple: a shoe that can translate easily from the office, to a restaurant, and to cocktails later on. Stripping down her company of all the mumbo-jumbo lingo of high-end design, Chantra defies comparison to the notions of crazy and eccentric fashion personalities so prevalent in popular culture today...
...Ringside seats cost $3,000. (By comparison, the top ticket for the recent, much-ballyhooed fight between Oscar De la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather at the MGM casino in Las Vegas were priced at $2,000.) The Ibragimov-Holyfield fight failed to live up to its lofty price tag, however, as the champ and challenger conducted a 12-round Krokus City pantomime.

By making this absurd comparison, he trivializes the sacrifices and accomplishments of those who lived through or died...
...would be a fatal mistake for you to list a bill of particulars,” Plummer Professor of Christian Morals Peter J. Gomes said on Wednesday at his weekly tea. “A comparison of this address with the State of the Union is quite false, and all you’ll do is give your enemies a shopping list with which...
