...chilling even to this day. This son of a Georgia sharecropper endured unspeakable indignities and taunts to become baseball's first black player. (Just last week officials in the small Florida town of Sanford issued an apology for their predecessors who forced Robinson off the field during a minor league game in 1946.) He won over hostile teammates, opponents and newsmen with his ferocity on the field and grace off it. In his 10 short years in the majors, he revolutionized base running and carved out a Hall of Fame career. And he never stopped taking a lead...
...dreamy demeanor makes the Vicar's character an instant favorite, drawing both sympathetic sighs and peals of laughter from the audience. Tattenbaum and Sheflin, who play Constance and Mrs. Partlet, give commendable performances both vocally and dramatically, through Sheflin runs out of fresh facial expressions rather quickly.

No decision was too small, no change too minor not to notify everyone remotely involved. "It had turned into the biggest cover-your-ass thing you could imagine," says Wang. "People would send these things just so they could say, 'But I copied you on that.'" Now companies such as SmithKline Beecham are tightening the spigot by encouraging employees to limit the number of CCs they send. At Ernst & Young, systemwide messages...
