...ceos would set a good example, roll up their sleeves and cut their exorbitant salaries, workers would gladly tighten their belts. But when the ceos make big salaries, often without doing a good job, it is not surprising that the workforce doesn't want to do them any favors. Sylvia Dörflinger Hilden, Germany...
...blue looks nice with your olive skin," Remele tells Sylvia W. Houghteling ’06. Expertly, he hushes the girls’ complaints (the most prevalent being "I have no boobs!"). He knows just how to deflect perfunctory wails about flat chests or thick waists, or to suggest that a petite girl wear a dress at tea length. One of his admitted entrepreneurial advantages is that many of the customers are his friends. "Since many of the girls are in the same social circle and go to the same parties," he reasons...
According to Sylvia Link, a Denver-based estate liquidator with 30 years' experience, the average estate has marketable paper items worth at least $500. (Estate liquidators typically charge 25% to 30% of the sale.) Consider the items that sisters Donna DeRosato, 52, and Carol Pogue, 54, found in their mother's attic in Plymouth Meeting, Pa.: the stubs of two sets of Beatles concert tickets (1965 and 1966), a concert handbill (Rolling Stones, 1968) and some Beatles fan books and figurines. The sisters gave them all to a local eBay consignment shop, and when the online auction was over, they...
...most recent movie choices should keep her from that fate. They're all passion projects not calculated to draw a crowd: Sylvia, a biopic about Sylvia Plath; Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, an arch, retrofuturistic movie in which all the acting was done on an empty soundstage, then all the scenery added by computer; and her new film, Proof, about a woman whose life is almost the direct opposite of Paltrow's. She plays Catherine, whose years of caring for her mentally ill, math-genius father (Anthony Hopkins) have left her bitter, maybe nutso. After her father dies...
Rarely have cast and characters seemed so ideally matched from top to bottom. Jonathan Moore, looking like a foppish John Belushi, is Mr. Guppy, the ambitious law clerk who makes a hilariously premature proposal of marriage to Esther. Sylvia Coleridge is Miss Flite, the daft old regular at Chancery, who collapses one day and tingles with joy at being carried home by "the principals in Jarndyce and Jarndyce." Each takes part in what Vladimir Nabokov described as Dickens' "magic democracy," where even the tiniest characters have a vivid afterlife. This Bleak House, like the London fog of old, is hard...
