...programs, at about $2.50 a month per employee, cut health-care claims to as much as one-sixth their cost. On average, according to a nonprofit research group called the Wellness Councils of America, for every dollar that a company spends on helping employees get healthier, it can expect to save $3 in health-care expenses. On top of that, an article in last month's Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine says every dollar in medical and pharmacy expenses that companies pay is dwarfed by $2.50 in health-related productivity costs.

...Given his film expertise, one might expect Levy to build this biography around an analysis of Newman's films and his place in the cinematic canon.

The car buyers will not want to drive long distances in order to find a dealer who sells the brand that they want. They will buy a Toyota (TM) or some other brand because they know that continued service is virtually assured. They...
...than a Burmese political dissident does. As Aung Zaw noted in the Irrawaddy, two British activists who were convicted for staging separate political protests in Burma in 1999 were both released early after serving only a fraction of their jail sentences. Good news for them. But Burmese can hardly expect the same treatment. If Suu Kyi is convicted - and Burmese courts have a frighteningly high conviction rate - few expect the Lady to taste freedom anytime soon...
