...also less gushy and girlish (Romy Schneider covered that ground in 1954's Victoria in Dover). Victoria left ample and surprisingly intimate diaries, as well as her sketchbooks, which provided evidence of her platonic infatuation with Lord M. (she mostly got misty-eyed over the idea of him as a young man) and her nearly instantaneous attraction to her cousin Albert, whom she described as "extremely handsome ... he has a beautiful nose and a very sweet mouth" - which is certainly true of Friend...
...look back on these indiscretions as a minor blip, but the media is making a big deal out of it right now." Woods' sexcapades and subsequent absence from the Tour might not hurt Nike's $650 million golf business as much as you think. Golf accounts for less than 4% of Nike's revenues.

The Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum, peace- museum.pref.okinawa.jp, is located in the eponymous park on the southern tip of Okinawa Island and showcases poignant exhibits. One section covers the lead-up to WW II, another the postwar period when Okinawa was transformed by U.S. military occupation...
...report, which labeled as "shocking" the racist, anti-immigrant and Islamophobic experiences of minorities as they go about their daily lives. A 2004 study by Sorbonne sociologist Jean-François Amadieu found that a standard résumé with a Muslim name was five times less likely to elicit an interview than the same résumé with a non-Muslim name...
