...Wearwolf will use the phrase as a brand name for an international line of preppy clothing, beginning with men's wear selling for prices ranging from $160 for shirts to $495 for sport coats. The clothes will not bear a Harvard logo or shield, but will include crimson trim around button holes and zippers as well as the "Harvard Yard" brand on the neck label and the hangtag, according to Wearwolf Executive Vice President Jeffrey D.

My words fell on uncomprehending ears. I was as powerless as Royal to communicate my beliefs. The two friends did not understand what I meant when...
...many European countries. Scientology has failed to obtain religious recognition in France, Germany, and the UK, among others, and Greece has banned it altogether. The mind-control argument in relation to burqas is easy to make. Absent the expectations of fathers, brothers, and husbands, what woman would choose to wear a burqa ? It deprives them of ordinary human interaction and makes them wholly subservient to the men in their lives. Burqas, it can be argued, infringe on freedom of expression...
