Also running for the board are Woodrow A. Myers, director of Health Care Management at Ford Motor Company, who was awarded a degree from Harvard Medical School in 1977; Richard E. Oldenburg '54, chair of Sotheby's North America; and Robert D. Reischauer '63, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute in Washington...
...McWhirter. "GM cut sales and manufacturing costs and pruned its operation to the point where chairman Jack Smith even lost his private dining room. But the company's sales are down in the car division, and only their truck division continues to do well." Expect just the opposite when Ford's earnings are released Wednesday, McWhirter says. "Their truck division is setting new sales records, but their earnings should be way down."

I see what the new world needs and wants, and I'm offering...
...QUESTION SHOULD NOT BE, "is the Bible Fact or Fiction?" but, rather, as fiction, how does the Bible stand up? As a stylist, God is uneven. He fails to speak with a consistent authoritative voice. His use of legendary material lacks the verisimilitude of a Homer or a John Ford. He often repeats himself, betraying his insecurity as a writer. What a better world this would be if its dominant faiths took their fictions not from God but from some author with greater compassion and understanding, such as Shakespeare or Herman Melville or Dr. Seuss.
