This is the highest step and summit of charity's golden ladder.

    Men   Benefits   Pay  
    Millicent Fenwick (1982). “Speaking up”, Harpercollins

Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.

In simple terms, the rainforests, which encircle the world, are our very life-support system-and we are on the verge of switching it off.

Everyone knew who he was and what he was capable of: Rehv was the kind of drug lord who took a personal interest in his livelihood. You crossed him and you turned up diced like something off the Food Channel.
