...inconceivable that Tokyo will simply allow JAL, which was owned by the government until it was privatized in 1987, to fail. The airline has already been bailed out three times since 2001, and was guaranteed 80% of a 100 billion yen emergency loan by the previous administration. On Thursday, Japan's new Prime Minister, Yukio Hatoyama, said "public support may become necessary" for JAL and that he wants to finalize restructuring plans for the company "as soon as possible," on the sidelines of the G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh. Government officials "definitely don't want Japan's flagship carrier...
...phrasing is interesting in that it makes Chanel the woman sound like a good suit. Later, when Boy asks Etienne if he can "borrow" Coco for a few days, the way you'd ask for the loan of a sweater, our hearts sink for her. Any happiness she has seems likely to be fleeting, but he, like so much else in the film, is a provider of inspiration.

...loan industry estimates that up to 35,000 jobs might be lost by the transfer from FFEL to direct-loan. Members of Congress who represent states that employ a large portion of the industry workforce, like moderate Democratic Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, have opposed the measure for that reason. But the Department of Education (which would run the new and expanded program) maintains that because Sallie Mae and several other companies would be kept on as contractors to "service" the loans - performing administrative tasks such as answering student inquiries and collecting payments - the total amount of jobs lost will...
...someone who actually has to throw that switch, I can tell you that there's a bunch more switches behind that one that you don't even see. It's not that simple." Still, for an Administration that fully expected a knock-down, drag-out fight over the student-loan plan, those kinds of problems probably seem pretty easy to solve...
