...dollars, two undeterred tourists imbibe on the beach, obviously more keen on finishing their vacation than on lending a much-needed helping hand to the massive relief effort. Their senseless indifference to this terrible loss and to the plight—ongoing and forthcoming—of those whose cheap labor made their vacationing possible in the first place, to say nothing of the 2,400 foreign visitors counted among Thailand’s dead, is staggering...
Ryann Dekat felt like a petite in a Big and Tall store. Shopping for a new car, she wanted something small, cheap and fuel efficient--the last thing most carmakers want to sell, since the big profits are in gas-guzzling SUVs and sedans with large engines.

For some of you, however, this gift will change your lives: It will save you from wasted time and frustration, help you avoid embarrassing trips to the help desk in the Science Center basement—it might even improve your grades...
...Harvard adopted a reasonable academic calendar, surf over to http://www.mozilla.org in Internet Explorer and download Firefox on me (isn’t my generosity laudable?): It may well be the last page you visit in Explorer. And if you like it, note that it makes a nice cheap gift to give to your friends, and one they’ll never stop thanking...
