...Greer made her point with a sustained, supercilious sneer that gracelessly combined ignorance with exhibitionist pseudo-erudition. "The film-makers maintain that the ray that took Irwin out" - nice touch, that, took him out, like a hit man hired by vengeful Mother Nature - "was a 'bull ray,' or Dasyatis brevicaudata," she writes, "but this is not usually found as far north as Port Douglas." Sniff. Is that a whiff of Google in the air? Biology lesson over, Greer flicks her tail and begins sticking her own barbs into the man. She relives the incident when he fed a crocodile...

...turnaround could go a long way toward helping Esprit maintain its frenetic pace. "Because growth rates have started to slow down, they need to get into bigger markets where their penetration is low," says Macquarie retail analyst Ramiz Chelat in Hong Kong. Hello, U.S.A. By 2002, sales had fallen to $150 million, from $700 million in 1987, according to Macquarie. Krogner got control of Esprit's American business when Ying bought the U.S. trademark in 2002. (The company is now publicly traded; Ying owned 15.8% as of the end of 2005.) As part of the acquisition, Krogner forced a shutdown...
...would go a step further and ask, Who needs small private schools? While Gibbs and Thornburgh maintain that "small is beautiful," they fail to acknowledge the prominence of America's public universities. The "If you are talented, the sky is the limit" mentality is most appropriate in a public university where students face a more real-world atmosphere of independence and hard work, without a doting dean serving as a third parent. And success has been proved: the majority of the FORTUNE 50 CEOs hail not from the Ivies or small private colleges but from our public universities. KEVIN JAMES...
...to Peter Skerry's Viewpoint [Aug. 21], that Muslims living in the U.S. are mostly suburban "university-educated professionals," who thus lack an incentive to attack us at the moment. Ironically, having achieved success by virtue of the freedom offered by a country built primarily by European Christians, they maintain a deafening silence in the face of atrocities enacted each day by their co-religionists. As the widow of a good and decent man murdered in the Twin Towers, I find their apathy unconscionable. LESLIE DIMMLING Garden City...
