...these nice ladies? They're the powers behind the Kaplan Thaler Group, a hot New York City ad agency that had $900 million in billings last year. The duo created the iconic AFLAC duck, and clients include Procter & Gamble, Continental Airlines, Pfizer, Revlon and Office Depot. Thaler and Koval attribute their success in part to practicing what they preach in their 195-employee office. (Of course, having terrific creative work helps too.) At Kaplan Thaler, everyone gets a callback, and every résumé gets answered. "We may not have a job for somebody," says Thaler, "but everybody deserves the respect...

It would be foolish to think that the study of religion should not play an important part in educating “citizen[s] of a democracy within a global society,” as the report advances as its underlying aim. Religion has always been important and certainly, recent events seem to have elevated...
...help them catch bad actors. "The anti-fraud interests are very strong," said Chris Hoofnagle, senior staff attorney with the Samuelson Law, Technology, and Public Policy Clinic at U.C. Berkeley School of Law. Most Hill staffers believe it's unlikely that the pretexting legislation will pass during the "lame duck" session of Congress, which happens in November when the members return from campaigning.
