...reason for Shenzhen's rapidly rising labor costs is a shortage of workers. Millions of poor Chinese who in the past sought work in southern China's factories can now find jobs closer to home, and Shenzhen is becoming less of a migrant-worker magnet. That means there are fewer workers to fill the lowliest jobs, and employers must pay more to attract them. At a large job market in downtown Shenzhen, hundreds of positions are posted on bulletin boards and rows of recruiters wait to collect applications, but the trail of employment seekers is frustratingly short. At one booth...
...tough guy before whom all other tough guys go soft, Hammer is also an adolescent boy's dream of the total he-man package. He's also a magnet for all comers. Gangsters and glamorous women fall at Mike's feet, from the impact of his blows or the surly machismo of his swagger. Of course there's a darker view of this unchecked brutality, this out-lawman with a feudal ethical code.

These days, just about everyone else is drawn to "St. Trop" (around 100,000 visitors swarm the town each day in high summer)?but not during the fall, when hotels like the 19th century Ch?teau de la Messardi?re offer palatial rooms at almost half the peak-season rate. You'll also enjoy crowd-free beaches, no-hassle dinner...
...information on all student groups.“I have to say on the whole that the students were far more sympathetic than the administration,” Schatz says.There was also an uproar when the 1981 yearbook poked fun at Adams House’s reputation as a magnet for gay undergraduates, calling it “a haven for homosexuality. Rumor has it that the [sex] ratio is one to one to one, or one to one to one too many.”The comment was condemned by the GSA and the Adams House Committee.The editor...
