...author and Brenda, his wife of 46 years, have been spending less time at their modern apartment in Toronto and more at their house on 150 acres of land near Lake Ontario. This haven does more than satisfy an author's need for peace and quiet. A vast inland sea once covered the property, and Davies can refresh his conviction that the world is full of surprises every time he finds a fossil in his garden...
...raised rim of the crater, forming a circular atoll-like formation. Later, when the sea level rose, the atoll gradually elongated into an ellipse as the coral (which seeks warm waters) migrated toward the shallows north of the original crater. Some 1.8 million years ago, the atoll contained an inland sea continually replenished by ocean waters. But as the rising coral walls gradually closed out the ocean, newly deposited sediments' piled up in the forming lagoon. The inland sea shrank, the basin filled with fresh water and, in the warm southern sun, soon became clogged with the rich grasses that...
...with windowless athletic facilities and view-indifferent sports fields gracing prime riverfront real estate. Director of Athletics Robert L. Scalise, who is also a member of MPAC, said last week that the benefit of having undergraduate housing near the river could outweigh the cost of moving athletic facilities further inland.

...must adhere to the town code concerning height, the pitch of the roof, the size and configuration of porches. Yet the rules change sensibly from neighborhood to neighborhood. On north-south avenues, for instance, large front yards are required, thus leaving ocean views unobstructed even from points well inland; the same homeowners, however, must erect streetside picket fences to provide pedestrians a reassuring sense of scale and enclosure. Along Seaside's widest boulevard, the guidelines will produce grand houses with verandas...
...same country as the losses. In 2001, the company cited Britain's "group relief" rules that allow firms to cluster different business units for tax purposes; if successful, the argument would have gained Marks & Spencer tax relief of about $56 million. But that same year, Britain's Inland Revenue said no, declaring that Marks & Spencer had no right to deduct its Continental losses because they hadn't been incurred in Britain. The retailer appealed the decision to the E.C.J., and last week E.C.J. advocate general Miguel Poiares Maduro weighed in on its side. He said the British ruling...
