...slated to be represented by United Steelworkers, milled around Wednesday in a state of shock over their surprise victory. The Wal-Mart union will have 60 days to opt for contract negotiations, a new experience for company management, which for the past few decades has relied mostly on employee ownership to keep workers from drifting to higher-paying jobs...
...longest droughts in Celtic history (drought defined as consecutive years without a championship) have occurred during years when the ownership of the Celtics was not committed to winning championships. In the early 70s, John Y. Brown's ego forced Red to actually contemplate switching to the Knickerbockers. The current 'kid Gaston' era is an even bigger disgrace.

Thus many doubters believe Jardin a Auvers was actually painted by Claude-Emile Schuffenecker (1851-1934). If so, its celebrity is a vindication of sorts for a painter...
