Lou Ann’s story begins as her parents are driving her to Harvard. She went to Ball State for her first two years‚ but decided it was not enough of a challenge

The title of Marine carries a stigma of fierce strength‚ discipline‚ and pride. Marines are leaders. But to me‚ the opportunity to become a Marine Officer is much more.

Diapers One morning‚ a Costco store in Los Angeles began running a little low on size-one and size-two Huggies. Crisis loomed. So what did Costco managers do? Nothing; They didn’t have to‚ thanks to a special arrangement with Kimberly-Clark Corp.‚ the company that makes the diapers.
