Len Maguire, with his new girl Amy on his arm, meets his brother Frank (Amy's old flame) after years of separation.

The company may end the year with a loss of more than $400 million, double last year's $204.6 million deficit. Chairman John Riccardo has made a dozen trips to Washington since...

A priest or deacon will meet regularly with the couple over the half-year, and may refer them to Catholic Social Services for special counseling. Catholics who marry non-Catholics must also follow the procedure. If a couple refuse to wait and get married by a judge instead, they must undergo the same process before a sacramental marriage. Rausch will insist on the six-month rule even when the woman is pregnant and the couple face social pressure to marry in haste. He thinks...
