...Jobs's zealousness about product development- and enforcing his personal vision-remains as relentless as ever. He keeps Apple's management structure unusually flat for a 20,000-person company, so he can see what's happening at ground level. There is just one committee in the whole of Apple, to establish prices. I can't think of a comparable company that does no-zero-market research with its customers before releasing a product. Ironically, Jobs's personal style could not be more at odds with the brand he has created. If the motto for Apple's consumers is "think...
...Elaborating in a newspaper interview, Sevran said, "Africa is dying from all the children born there" to parents supposedly too sexually undisciplined or dumb to realize they could not feed them all. The answer to the problem? "We need sterilize half the planet," Sevran emphatically replied. Known as an relentless attention-seeker, the defiant Sevran drew only limited fire for his comments, and a public rebuke from his public television employer - though not the cancellation of his Sunday program that many demanded.

...like to think that decades from now I will tell my grandchildren about Warne, regaling them - perhaps even boring them - with tales of the bowler's relentless, ruthless ability.

He died in 1980, unpunished and unrepentant. Callil lays out Darquier's sordid tale with cool disdain and relentless research. She first encountered his name after the apparent suicide in 1970 of her young psychiatrist - his daughter, it turned out, who had been abandoned decades before. In Callil's gifted hands, Louis Darquier's story becomes a history of modern French anti-Semitism - and a stark reminder...
DIED. Elliot Welles, 79, Vienna-born Holocaust survivor who, as longtime director of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League's task force on war criminals, became one of the most influential and relentless Nazi hunters in the U.S.; in New York City. Welles got his start seeking to avenge the murder of his mother, who had been executed in the woods near Riga, Latvia, where his family had recently been deported. Haunted by the face and name of the officer who ordered her transport, Welles, with the help of the Justice Department, tracked him down in Germany--where...
