...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.

...first and most powerful argument against a major car company refurbishing its own used products is that it will keep people from buying new cars. In some cases that is true.

(The Burmese government, in a curious feat of logic, denies having mistreated the Rohingya, since there is, according to Foreign Minister Nyan Win, no such a minority group in Burma.) Then, a break: a Buddhist Arakan local confided that there were some ethnic Bengalis who lived in a nearby village. He guessed that they'd come from Bangladesh to Burma 10 or 20 years ago and were living in Arakan illegally. Would I like...
