Bethel started the comeback and his heroics at 14:54 of the middle stanza when he put a low shot past Turcotte's gloveside for a power-play goal...
There are two types of costs associated with divestiture: one-time costs (brokerage commissions and short-run price effects) and recurring annual costs. Harvard estimates the one-time costs at $5-15 million. But even the "low" estimate of $5 is based on inflated brokerage commissions. Moreover, no one is calling for instantaneous divestiture; if the stocks were sold over a period of a year or so, the cost would be considerably less. In any case, Harvard normally turns over 20-30 per cent of the portfolio each year. More realistic estimates, based on Stanford University's figures...
...After Curley reversed that score to capture the second set 6-3, the pair traded six service breaks before the score reached 6-6 in the critical third set.

If anything, they showed how far Magritte's real gifts lay from the orthodox processes of modernism. Nor did his first essays in the surrealist manner, done in 1925-26, indicate much about the artist to come; they are, for the most part, grab bags of motifs from other painters, chiefly...
...byproduct of popular entertainment. Explains Science Writer Isaac Asimov: "Hollywood just happens to be very good at special effects, primarily destructive effects." Indeed, in a forthcoming book, A Choice of Catastrophes, the polymath popularizer seeks to soothe anxieties about global disaster. Says Asimov: "All the scenarios are either very low in probability, or very distant in the future...
