...given that a B means a student showed up for class most days, is to get straight As. In the humanities, such a feat entails making friends with the TF, going to the professor’s office hours and doing all the reading. It’s not pleasant, but the path is clear and there are many factors that contribute to the final grade.

Griffin dutifully pops out of the van. “Don’t let me hit anything, Steve,” she pleads as the van nearly brushes the van next to it. He laughs from the outside, puzzling over the geometry...

...blackout period - oh, that blackout period. It may be a pleasant thought that Ken Lay wouldn't have been able to pay back that billion-dollar loan with company stock during the lockdown. But if Bush really wanted to make things fair for workers and investors, "OK for the sailor" and "OK for the captain," as he put it Friday, he'd make a company halt all trading of its stock - Wall Street too - while a blackout period was on.

...GIGOT 18 Cornelia Street (212-627-3737). This pleasant bistro recalls the Greenwich Village of the 1950s. Proprietor Pamela Decaire's staff is friendly, and the simple decor is an American's idea of what a French bistro should look like, including a Dubonnet poster and caricatures of chefs at work. Le Gigot is the place to bring the business associate who craves informality...
