Marks & Spencer wanted to use the losses incurred in its disastrous European foray to offset profits from operations in Britain. Firms in most E.U. nations commonly make use of losses in this...
...College will only have time to implement minor changes, if any, to the Calendar of Opening Days for the incoming crop of freshmen. If the committee recommends a major overhaul, the Class of 2010 will likely be the first to see the results...
