...began to work only part time, teaching legal philosophy. She pored over her collection of old-time housework manuals and consulted innumerable experts, from fire fighters to microbiologists. Eight years later, she had more than 800 pages that are the final word on how to get out any stain, how to sweep a floor (to the center) and how to remove candle wax (apply ice until the wax crumbles). After reading her book, you will throw out your old sponges, always have white vinegar handy and become slightly paranoid about mold and dust mites. Her reigning philosophy is that...
...Court of First Instance in Luxembourg. That won't save the Honeywell deal--such a case might not be settled for two years. But it would give GE a chance to disprove the allegation that it had a "dominant position" that it was likely to abuse. If that stain remains on the record, GE is going to find it hard to make any significant acquisitions in Europe. Honeywell has a new CEO; when the deal went down, so did Bonsignore.

Tony Millionaire and Chip Kidd turn in a masterfully sardonic "The Bat-Man." Colored an antique tea-stain brown, with a mood reminiscent of the 1930s horror movies, Bruce Wayne becomes a creepy, eccentric playboy who flies around in his "bat-gyro." Another stand-out, Ellen Fornay and Ariel Bordeaux imagine "Wonder Woman's Day Off," when she skips out for a cappuccino and a poetry slam, with...
...appear to have fumbled the case out of sheer incompetence, not because it occurred in a deaf venue. Indeed, the murders' most troubling long-term implication for the Gallaudet community is not a suggestion that deaf people are somehow different from anyone else but that, as regards the cardinal stain of murder, they are the same...
