...learning how to treat people. That's a lesson Jenny must take at school - not so much from her starchy headmistress (Emma Thompson) as from her home-room teacher. Miss Stubbs (Olivia Williams) is one of those quiet beauties who dress severely, perhaps to punish the world for not noticing their loveliness. In an American movie about high school she would pull out her hairpins and do a pole dance; here she's the voice of maternal reason. Jenny's romance with David has deepened, and she has started telling off her superiors, recklessly burning academic bridges she might need...
...same time the firm must keep hold of its core fan base while opening up new product lines. Millions still love the standard resin shoes but plenty of people despise them, too. Duerden says he receives hate mail from nonplussed members of the public; others use the website ihatecrocs.com to vent. But Crocs is confident there's a deep pool of demand for its shoes.

An entire profession, financial planning, is dedicated to telling people they can, and must, pay for their own retirement. A 401(k) is usually a central part of those plans. Even for people who don't have enough money to send their kids to college or buy a home, building their 401(k), they are told, is their first priority. It's not terrible advice. The accounts grow tax-free, though you have to pay Uncle Sam's levy when...
...Harvard Lampoon, must you ruin everything that's sacred?” asks the Globe. Well, we can’t remember the last time the semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine did much of anything, let alone ruined something through satire, but it looks like they're giving it a try this year...
