...When it became clear to me that the library's needs were not being met and that renovating Widener was a major priority for the University, I thought I'd like to help," Loker said in a written statement. She was married to the late Donald P. Loker...
Elsewhere in the country, companies are following the same general pattern. At Griffith Rubber Mills in Portland, Ore., president Scot Laney can read the immediate future of his company written in empty shipping containers. He watches cargo ships steam into the harbor laden with products from Asia. These containers would normally return to Asia full of American products. But now those goods are too expensive in Asia, so the containers stack up on the dock, harbingers of a recession. "It hasn't got to our level yet," says Laney. "But it will. We know it's coming...
...Bodily Harm is not meant for the layman. Instead, it's more a workbook for the initiated, complete with checklists and common Q&A advice for injurers, their family and therapists.

For all of those sane, not-yet-obsessed opera fans, however, the book will take a little more effort. Although written in a relaxed, unpretentious style, the narrative is inundated with the names of every important performer, publicist, conductor and record company CEO in the business, not to mention the titles and allusions to plot synopses of most of the major operas. With the effort though, anyone who reads this will...
