...course, none of these issues are simple. Labor standards, for example, may appear to be an obviously good idea, but Third World countries are in rebellion against any attempt to enforce them - for the simple reason that cheap labor is all many of them have to offer in the world economy, and enforcing minimum standards may actually destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs in the developing world. Why would a U.S. apparel manufacturer have its wares manufactured in China if it had to pay American-level wages? So just as what's good for business isn't always good...
...Jordan not only directed The End of the Affair, but wrote the adaptation of the Greene novel himself.

This disrespect for the traditional protocol of the rock band concert goes a long way towards explaining why Death In Vegas' music, both recorded and live...
...vote would require 75 percent of council support as a constitutional amendment, the strongly supported measures have failed. By taking the issue to the students, the council is hoping to trim the fat once and for all. What was disturbing about the debates on Monday night during which the idea of a council size referendum was introduced was the council members' lack of confidence in the student body. Even Presidential candidate Todd E. Plants '01 voiced fears about the student body's decision-making capability saying, "I urge you not to give the student body the opportunity to shoot themselves...
