...director Tony Scott--is required of Dean to get his life back and his tormentors chastened. You can probably imagine, as well, the gleam, sheen and extensiveness of the high-tech machinery that a well-endowed bureaucracy can deploy to torment a citizen on which its baleful eye has fallen. You may even be able to predict the chipper amorality of the techies manning the keyboards and terminals. What do they care about ends when the means to it are so much fun to play with...
...time. That's why he was so impatient with those who did not share his vision. Most activists eventually hung up their swords and shields; Kwame, however, never changed. He was the fighter, the rebel, the person storming the battlements, until the end. While we will greatly miss our fallen warrior, his legacy will be eternal...
...liberal democrats. Their only common goal is to depose Saddam, but after that come conflicting agendas. The most robust of the groups, at least in p.r. terms, is Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress.

Last quarter Loews "reduced its exposure" to the stuff that produced the massive losses. Now is a good time...
...blues and the bright colors of the diner were the perfect setting for the ballet. The three sailors, performed by Joaquin de Luz, Ethan Steifel and John Selya, and the three women, performed by Christine Dunham, Amanda McKerrow and Jennifer Alexander, acted the piece as if they had fallen through time to the 1940s. Their acting was witty, and funny and their dancing was lively, stylistic and included bouncy jumps, the rhumba and a pas de deux with bar stools. A thoroughly enjoyable ballet, Fancy Free was a perfect end to a perfect evening of ballet...
