...application had little benefit for students or professors. Many students I spoke with felt that that application had no bearing on the process and simply allowed the FDO to register them for interviews. But since the mere submission of an application guarantees an interview, the FDO ought to rework and expand the application in-order to encourage professors to use it more creatively...
...McKenna makes plain, that's easier said than done. Trading in the security of prestige, promotions and power lunches for the more ephemeral rewards of greater flexibility, balance and freedom may require a woman not only to rework her finances but also to retool her very identity. McKenna admits that after walking out on corporate life, "I felt like a nonperson." Though she'd left to pursue a career in writing, peers assumed she'd gone home to be a mommy--a common misperception about women who step off the conventional fast track. "The immediate defense is to devalue your...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Because death has begun to look a lot more certain than taxes, the Clinton Administration is presenting a plan to rework the IRS by strengthening the oversight and management of the troubled agency. The IRS is under fire after admitting to misusing or wasting $400 million out of $3.3 billion spent on a computer modernization project since 1987.

Madonna, who starred as the flashy Eva Peron, also came up short in her bid for a best actress nomination -- echoing criticism that her performance was nothing more than a feature-length rock video. "Evita...
...opportunity to rework the film has maybe soothed some of that old pain. Outdated special-effects shots have been tidied up. (Lucas complains in particular about a "fuzzy Vaseline blob" beneath Luke Skywalker's land speeder.) Computer-generated creatures (Rontos and Jawas and such) were added to the backgrounds of previously static scenes. Extra spaceships with keener moves now flesh out some of the climactic battle scenes. A scene has been restored between Han Solo and the reptilian loan shark Jabba the Hutt that was discarded when Lucas couldn't figure out a satisfactory way to concoct Jabba (he finally...
