Leslie Tobakos, mother of two college-aged kids, compared apples to apples on tuition, room and board and fees by making a spreadsheet to track the bottom line for each school.
Seven low-ranking guards and two military intelligence soldiers -- described by then-Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz as "bad apples" -- were disciplined.
In the holiday quarter just reported, profits were basically flat (on an apples-to-apples time period, operating profits increased 7%, still a far cry from the previous two years).
The apples and the people and the houses are all similar insofar as they share in the form of two-ness, which exists independently of material things to exist in pairs or human minds to think about them.
