Swartz would have pressed on even if he had failed to??bring costs down. Why? Because the green glues added value to a brand worn by environmentally conscious outdoor enthusiasts. But there's another reason: the effect Swartz believes such socially responsible initiatives have on the rank and file of his company. That also accounts, in part, for why he has installed stringent fair-labor policies at Timberland's factories and those of its vendors in Asia, Eastern Europe and North Africa. Timberland does not allow workers to put in more than 60 hours a week--a rule that...
Someone is trying to??scare a decent family: TV host Georges (Auteuil), his wife Anne (Binoche) and their 12-year-old son. And doing a fine job of it. The surveillance videotapes of their home, dropped through a mail slot, announce a threat both pernicious and patient. It's time for Georges to show grace under pressure.

Besides, I figured the gift bags were full...
...sound obvious that GM needs to??sell cars that people want to buy, but that's at the top of Wagoner's list of challenges. Wall Street is uneasy over GM's production plans, heavily weighted toward light trucks at a time when consumers are veering away from gas guzzlers. The overreliance on big vehicles is partly a result of bad luck. GM execs have admitted they never anticipated gas prices rising as fast as they did during the hurricane season, when a gallon of gas cost more than $3 in some regions. Yet GM relied for years...
