Furthermore, an organization of young hackers known as HFG hacked into The New York Times Web site this past September. When loyal readers tried to access the Times site that day, they were shocked to discover that the site had been altered...
...conscience. The genius of Ackroyd's book is its reminder that More's conscience was communal, standing in defense of the colorful and emotional piety of an England born of, and bound most preciously to, Catholic Christendom. It was to preserve those ties that More, the great humanist and loyal church reformer, debated the disloyal Protestants. It was to preserve his pious England that More enforced the ban on translations of the Bible into the incendiary vernacular, arguing that to "believe nothing but plain Scripture" was "pestilential heresy." There were more things than words to treasure in a London...

Last quarter's net loss of $24.7 million was more than double the loss in the same period last year, even as sales tripled to about $38 million and the ranks of its notoriously loyal customers nearly quadrupled.

It was the outgrowth of a debt-ridden maker of scales, time clocks and accounting machines that his father took charge of in 1914--the year Tom Jr. was born.

IBM dominated the market for punch...
...dealing with, Stu and his brother Drew bring up deep-seated fraternal arguments from their childhood, only to have them neatly wrapped up at the end of the film without a word of explanation. More dramatic than this sibling rivalry theme is Tommy's dilemma: to stay loyal to his best friend Chuckie or to fulfill his responsibility to his new brother. In fact, "sponsitility" plays an almost annoyingly large part in the storyline, giving a weird allegorical bent to the movie. These rather adult topics don't merge too well with the big bad wolf and the runaway monkeys...
