...simpler. A liquidation of the car firm would probably cost tens of thousands of jobs at the company, and many times that at suppliers. That argument is also old, but with the chance of liquidation in the next few months becoming more likely, it refreshes the strength of the logic. (See pictures of automakers...
...there are those titans who do away with tradition and help shape history. One of Harvard’s greatest figures was President Eliot, who governed the University from 1869 to 1909. He expanded the student body and eliminated the College’s fixed curriculum of Latin, Greek, logic, and other prescribed subjects, replacing it with a free-for-all elective system.

Clifton Collins Jr. makes an appealingly laconic one-armed shopkeeper and 24's Mary Lynn Rajskub earns every second of her screen time playing the estranged daughter of one of Rose and Norah's "clients...
