...other folks here. They're mostly beaming and chatting in hushed tones with all the family members they brought to watch a three-and-a-half-hour ceremony with no music, costumes or red carpet. Basically it's three hours of sitting and 15 minutes of picking up paperwork. As spectator sports go, this is up there with a visit to the DMV or an ice hockey game. I figure they keep it dull to provide contrast with with the moment of 300 millionth American unveiling, just like how Jim Carrey movies are so stupid so he can look more...
...William Murphy, Harvard’s director of employee and labor relations, contacted SEIU 615 organizer Courtney Snegroff to set up a meeting. The two sides met on Oct. 4 and reached an agreement, according to Snegroff. In an interview, Paul said he still had not received any official paperwork from Harvard. University spokesman Joe Wrinn said the University has been seeking “the most fair and mututally agreeable resoution to this.” “There’s not a specific date [for finalizing the agreement] since both parties need to review...
...women, though all bright and accomplished high school students, are still teenagers. Thousands apply for this prestigious program, and the lucky few accepted arrive, somewhat bizarrely, truly interested in witnessing government in action.

Bureaucrats had no objection to Quyen's plan to teach public-school students about Vietnam's rare and endangered species. The problem, Quyen says, was that at age 25, she wasn't so long out of school herself. Environmental enthusiasts co-sponsoring the group were even younger, and that didn't go down well in a communist state where seniority counts and youthful feistiness isn't necessarily prized...
...death in July, it was assumed, meant the end of the criminal case against the former Enron chairman. But prosecutors want to change that. On Wednesday, they filed a a motion asking Judge Sim Lake to hold off on signing the paperwork vacating Lay's conviction on fraud and conspiracy charges until former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling is sentenced in late October. In the motion, prosecutors propose a new law that criminal cases not be abated when the defendant dies, as is current legal precedent. In an effort to also get a Congressional hearing on the proposal, copies were sent...
