...into the future. It means having no children and no grandchildren." While her earlier books are full of policy prescriptions, this one is more personal. She salts the book with cautionary tales: women who were too threatening to the men they dated, too successful and preoccupied, too "predatory" to suit men who were looking for "nurturers." The voices are authentic but selective; taken together, it is easy to read certain passages and think she is calling for a retreat to home and hearth, where motherhood comes before every other role...
...Royal Albert Hall, impressing critics by belting out standards and dancing energetically. But on the same day, she was named in a lawsuit brought by her stepmother Lee Anderson Minnelli, 94, who was married to Liza's father Vincente before his death in 1986.

Whatever the intended message, the impression was clear: as a politician, Prabhakaran would make...

More recently, executives declaring bankruptcy traditionally wore a black suit symbolizing the death of their firm. Following the insolvency declaration by the German broadcaster KirchMedia last week, founder Leo Kirch failed to show up for work for the first time in living memory. But thanks to a 1999 revision of the bankruptcy law there was a chance that the company could emerge from bankruptcy relatively intact, unlike many previous failures that were shuttered and sold.
