Tribble said B&G brought in extra help Monday. "But you can't just turn on the system, there are all kinds of pump and control valves," he said...
...fourth floor of a renovated factory off Union Square in lower Manhattan, early on a sweltering August day, romantical cats and pedantical cats, allegorical cats and metaphorical cats are assembling. They may be masquerading as Broadway performers-the nearly anonymous acting-singing-dancing dynamos who pump the American musical machine-but for as long as their stamina and luck hold out, they are the American Cats.

Many high-technology firms steal secrets without even bothering to hire away another company's employees.

Texans are talking of pumping water from the Mississippi River, which draws much of its volume out of the states in the Great Lakes watershed. Coal mining interests in Montana have approached Wisconsin for access to Lake Superior. They want to pipe water to the Montana coalfields, where it would be mixed with crushed coal to form a mudlike slurry that would in turn be fed to other parts of the country. uch schemes are not pipe dreams: South Dakota earlier this year agreed to sell 50,000 acre...
