...Serious historians will doubtless mutter, tut and quibble over these simplistic comparisons. But the commuting or holidaying laity will lap them up, as will anyone with a professional interest in globalization. The anarchists, environmentalists, nativists and trade unionists among the latter will certainly be interested to learn that they, too, have their predecessors - factory workers in 18th century England rioted over imported Indian cotton, while abolitionists raged against the market forces and military superiorities that respectively drove and enabled whites to turn blacks into slaves...
...Wenger, manager of Arsenal, the London soccer club he supports. "There are those who decide their strategy on the basis of who's on the other team, and there are those who decide their strategy on the basis of who's in their team," says Miliband.

A penthouse apartment sells for about $350 per sq. ft. (about $3,750 per sq m). Comparable properties in New York City and London sell for about five times that price...
...Ohio and West Virginia (46 dead in 1967) - the cause is far more subtle. The former was triggered by metal fatigue in a single steel pin: when it finally failed, the loss of support transferred excess stress on other parts, which couldn't handle it, failing in turn. The latter was finally traced, again, to a single piece of metal, which had been forged with a tiny, unnoticed crack that weakened further with corrosion...
