...surprised that you suggested no escape plan for the average CEBUS victim. Mine is workable, simple, and guaranteed to trim the waistline while liberating the mind from ugh-plugs. For women, the average battery of three commercials per station break allows time for any of the following: washing and rinsing about one-third of the dinner dishes, emptying trash, sorting or putting away the wash, pressing any two wash-and-wear items, filling the coffeepot for the next morning, feeding any household pet. For men: finding the car keys, tucking in the children, taking trash out, balancing checkbook, having brief...
...leading victim of that purge was ex-Premier Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, a retired major general and a Baathist from the movement's romantic early days. Though Al-Bakr retired to his Baghdad home, he constantly plotted against the Arefs. One abortive but memorable 1964 attempt involved six Baathist air force MIG pilots, who planned to shoot down the presidential transport as it lifted from a runway.

In the unlikely event that every victim took them up on their offer, the companies estimate that their claims costs, now inflated by legal fees and court awards for pain and suffering, would fall by at least...
...years of research by the American Mutual Insurance Alliance, a 122-member trade group. Ex plains President Paul S. Wise: "As conceived more than half a century ago, an auto-liability policy was designed to protect the driver of a car against law suits, not to compensate the accident victim. Legally, this is still so. But public expectations have shifted toward protecting the injured."
