...many physicians losing income, a diagnostic center is an attractive income generator. CT angiography, MRI, ultrasound and electrodiagnostics all pay comparably more and incur far less liability than giving medicines, doing procedures or performing most surgeries. The pure diagnostician renders the information from his fancy test, takes the money and walks away--a great business model. Electromyograms to "diagnose" carpal tunnel syndrome, for one, usually pay more than the surgery to correct...
...table scraps are not good enough-which means that the nation's 3,000 dog- and cat-food makers and marketers contemplate 1968 sales of over $900 million, up $300 million since 1965. At that price, the doggy dish runs all the way from chicken croquettes to chunks of pure beef. Pet-food makers insist that there is a little of the gourmand in every dog and cat, and last year they spent $52.5 million to advertise their argument-more than 80% of it on television ... The basic pitch is always to an owner's heart, not to his pocketbook...
Jaguar spent no less effort improving the six-speed transmission. There are three modes: automatic, sport and manual (using the shift paddles). In manual, according to Jaguar, the gears respond to the driver's touch in 600 milliseconds, and the sensation is pure greased lightning. Sport mode feels silky smooth too.

But Jaguar has concluded that its core market is drivers who want a balance of performance and luxury, and in that respect the XKR hits its mark...
...narrator of Platoon. "This ain't your place at all." It is, though, and that is the rite-of-passage tragedy the film describes. For Chris is torn between the conflicting charismata of two sergeants: Elias (Willem Dafoe), a natural jungle fighter, and Barnes (Tom Berenger), a pure-blooded killer. Both men have a nice sense of their power?over themselves, their men and the enemy. Each hates the other, and one of them, Barnes, is dangerously mad. Their examples, and Chris' rage, will forge the young soldier into a state-of-the-art Stone Age murder machine. He will...
...Macau banking authorities under U.S. Treasury scrutiny-is easily explained. Since the North is in many respects a state-run criminal enterprise (reportedly replete with drug-running operations, and scams to counterfeit everything from U.S. dollars to Marlboro cigarettes to Viagra), this may be seen as pure goodfella fury at being stung by the very victims its own shakedown racket was supposed to be bilking. Or it may be that since the Macau seizures are practically the only penalties Pyongyang has suffered (thus far the U.N. sanctions enacted after last fall's test are mere pinpricks), it wanted to make...
