...doctors manage their medical practices. In return for access to those physicians, says Pass, 45, he gave plans for his wireless system to John Kang, then co-CEO at Medical Manager. But after he handed over his company's secrets in November 2000, Pass alleges, he waited in vain for Kang to supply the customers...
...women's activist; in Bangkok. One of the first women in Thailand to receive a university education, Kanittha devoted her career to battling discrimination against women. Among her triumphs: establishing a shelter for abused women and children, and decriminalizing prostitution. After becoming a Buddhist nun, she tried in vain to raise the lowly status of nuns, and planned a college for them; it's now nearly completed. DIED.

I don’t expect the make-up industry, or the world...
Against this backdrop, Israel faced anew a quondam quandary: either it could pursue the West’s vain hope that Arafat would work for peace, or it could write him off and fight terrorism alone. Having endured suicide bombings of a scale that the United States would never stomach, Ariel Sharon chose the latter. America should have supported its ally. Instead, motivated by the highly questionable view that restraining Sharon would win Arab support for U.S. action against Saddam Hussein, President Bush scolded Sharon for doing in Palestine what America did in Afghanistan; and in so doing, Bush vitiated...
