...form. Some stars opted to give their wares to Kevin Bacon's new charity, Sixdegrees.org, and others chose to keep their receiving quiet by using gift cards from the privacy of their hotel rooms instead of trudging conspicuously through the snow with bags in hand. In an effort to remind attendees that Sundance really isn't about collecting the right size parka, festival organizers gave away 25,000 buttons that said "Focus on Film." That was one gift no one was ashamed to claim...
...veered off course. Signing up the rapper Common as a pitchman was a play for teen consumers, but analysts point out that it might have been better to forget that fickle demographic and win back folks who remember the Gap in its heyday. Meanwhile, Pressler missed his chance to remind people in their 20s and 30s how hip the Gap could be. (Remember the thrilling Jump & Jive khaki-campaign holiday spots?) Pressler launched two entirely new brands-- Forth & Towne, a midpriced line aimed at baby boomers, and Piperlime, an online shoe store--instead of working to make...

The Administration did not sell the Iraq war as a quest for justice; it sold it by telling lies about Iraq's wmd and al-Qaeda connections and imminent threats. When all those proved...
Think, too, about why we sometimes remind ourselves that "life is short." It is an impetus to extend a gesture of affection to a loved one, to bury the hatchet in a pointless dispute, to use time productively rather than squander it. I would argue that nothing gives life more purpose than the realization that every moment of consciousness is a precious and fragile gift...
