...Still, petitioners continue to stream into the capital. Few can match the dedication of Yu Zhengyang, a sanitation worker from the northeastern province of Heilongjiang. In the winter of 1997, says Yu, his wife, Zhou Hongxia, disappeared after being summoned to a provincial police station in Xicheng. A few months later, Yu recounts, her body was found in a latrine pit just 15 m from the police headquarters. The police autopsy report ruled her death a suicide, but Yu says that doesn't explain why her body was covered in bruises and lacerations. Yu was particularly alarmed when police repeatedly...
...then H&M will have changed its windows, and there will be hundreds of new $13 T shirts splashed with retro sports logos, alongside bulky acrylic turtlenecks and cropped, V-necked varsity sweaters, each for about $19. That's the Swedish company's specialty: serving up a never-ending stream of must-have new looks at prices none of its European competitors can match...
...propulsion engines--in which a portable nuclear reactor heats charged gas and then fires it out the rear of the spacecraft--already exist and are capable of accelerating ships to very high speeds. But the stream of ions the engines produce is a thin one, and even a small ship requires a long time to accelerate--a problem when time is the very thing you're trying to limit. Another possibility is nuclear thermal propulsion, which uses a larger reactor to superheat traditional propellant and blast it out the engine nozzle. Things move a lot faster with such a system...
...next few weeks, a rash of companies will raise their dividends, joining the ranks of Pulitzer, Oxford Industries and others that did so earlier this month. January and February almost always bring an outsize stream of dividend hikes, as companies lock in the good news ahead of their annual shareholder meetings each spring. This new year's burst could be exceptional. After decades in the dustbin, dividends are once again in fashion in corporate boardrooms, and they deserve a prominent place in your portfolio...
...there is a monumental "on the other hand" with Dean. There is a recklessness about the man, an adolescent screw-you defiance that runs much deeper than the steady stream of gaffes produced by his projectile candor. In Exeter, N.H., last month I watched as he called the moderate Democratic Leadership Council "the Republican wing of the Democratic Party." I could see the "Republican wing" dig occur to him as he was talking about the need to bring Democrats together. His face lit up, his eyes danced, and he couldn't resist the pleasure of the zinger, even though...
