our passions."

specifically designed to meet the individual needs
and interests of each student."

"Governments should focus more on solving the
immediate problems of today rather than trying to
solve the anticipated problems of the future."

"The way people look, dress, and act reveals their
attitudes and interests. You can tell much about a

and behavior of its people."

The following appeared in a memo from the new vice
president of Sartorian, a company that manufactures
men's clothing. "Five years ago, at a time when we
had difficulties in obtaining reliable supplies of
high-quality wool fabric, we discontinued production
of our deluxe alpaca overcoats. Now that we have a
new fabric supplier, we should resume production.
This coat should sell very well: since we have not
offered an alpaca overcoat for five years and since
our major competitor no longer makes an alpaca overcoat, there
will be pent-up customer demand. Also, since the price
of most types of clothing has risen in each of the past
five years, customers should be willing to pay significantly
higher prices for alpaca overcoats than they did five
years ago, and our company profits will increase."

The following was posted on an Internet real estate discussion site.
"Of the two leading real estate firms in our town — Adams Realty
and Fitch Realty — Adams is clearly superior. Adams has 40 real
estate agents. In contrast, Fitch has 25, many of whom work only
part-time. Moreover, Adams' revenue last year was twice as high as
that of Fitch, and included home sales that averaged $168,000, compared
to Fitch's $144,000. Homes listed with Adams sell faster as well:
Ten years ago, I listed my home with Fitch and it took more than four
months to sell; last year, when I sold another home, I listed it with
Adams, and it took only one month. Thus, if you want to sell your home
quickly and at a good price, you should use Adams."

The following appeared in a memo from the president of a chain of cheese
stores located throughout the United States. "For many years all the stores
in our chain have stocked a wide variety of both domestic and imported
cheeses. Last year, however, the five best-selling cheeses at our newest
store were all domestic cheddar cheeses from Wisconsin. Furthermore, a
recent survey by Cheeses of the World magazine indicates an increasing
preference for domestic cheeses among its subscribers. Since our company
can reduce expenses by limiting inventory, the best way to improve profits
in all of our stores is to discontinue stocking many of our varieties of
imported cheese and concentrate primarily on domestic cheeses."
