...have worked in transient jobs since the beginning of time--as soldiers, truck drivers, traveling Bible salesmen--leaving the wife and kids home to hold down the fort or moving the entire family from town to town. But with today's preponderance of dual-career couples--80% of the labor force--it is just as often the woman's job that separates the partners. Stephanie Coontz of Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., a historian of marriage, argues that this represents a newly egalitarian attitude toward marital roles. "There's no longer the assumption that the woman immediately puts...
Indeed it does, but that doesn't make the aircraft any safer. The plane's backers said that the chance of a dual-engine failure was so rare that it shouldn't be of concern. Yet the flight manual lists a variety of things that can cause both engines to fail, including "contaminated fuel ... software malfunctions or battle damage."

"The test data indicate that the aircraft would have impacted...

Yale’s Jake Gallagher won in 25:43, but Harvard took second, third, and fourth, led by captain Brian Holmquest, who finished second in 25:55. He was followed by fellow senior Christopher Green...
...That Obscure Object of Desire, Luis Buñuel famously cast two actresses to play one character (though it wasn't to suggest a dual nature; it was because - who knows why, the man was a surrealist). Two years ago, in Palindromes, Todd Solondz had the lead character, a 12-year-old girl, played by eight actors (including a boy and two adults). Haynes' use makes the most sense, at least the kind of sense a filmmaker can pitch at a backers' meeting, since Dylan did have many lives, all of his own creation...
