Demonstrating his firm doesn't merely attack its projects head-on, but also thinks outside the box to rout out additional sources of inefficiency, research associate Pontius Pilate '98 chortled and informed me, "That outfit makes you look...
...past few weeks the Microsoft trial had been in danger of slipping out of the public eye.
