Galant (back row, fifth from right), Citigroup team members gather for a weekly project review. KENNETH R. THOMSON RICHARD J. HARRINGTON Chairman President and Chief Executive Officer Letter to Shareholders The Thomson Corporation achieved significant gains in revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depre- ciation and amortization (EBITDA) in 2001, despite volatility in global markets. Revenues from continuing operations, excluding disposals, were $7.2 billion, an increase of 18 percent from the previous year. EBITDA from continuing operations, excluding disposals, was $1.8 billion, an increase of 17 percent from 2000. The Company’s strong financial performance reflects our ability to execute on our strategy of providing business and professional customers with high-quality, must-have information and solutions that increase their productivity and give them competitive advantages in their markets. This strategy has made us a leader in each of the marketplaces in which we operate, and we are confident that it will continue to do so. In 2001, we made strategic investments and acquisitions in our core markets. For example, our $2 billion acquisition of Harcourt General Inc.’s higher education and lifelong learning assets expanded our array of Thomson Learning products and opened additional opportunities for growth in that market. We also acquired the outstanding minority interest in Thomson/First Call,

  • At Mrs. Murphy's Bed and Breakfast
    FORMAN DAVID 8/28/2012 For Educational Use Only A ROOM FOR “ADAM AND STEVE” AT MRS. MURPHY'S..., 23 Colum. J. Gender... Columbia Journal of Gender and Law David M. Forman 1 Copyright © 2012 by the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law; David M. Forman Abstract This article aims to encourage a vital and evolutionary step forward in understanding how multifaceted legal processes shape, and should shape, thinking about gay and lesbian couples within religious communities and the body politic. The article begins by providing context that illustrates the place-based and diffuse nature of an ongoing culture war between civil rights and religious freedom, further exposing the painful irony inherent in using misinterpretations of the Sodom and Gomorrah parable to reinforce inhospitality. The article describes a state-by-state patchwork of nondiscrimination laws governing places of public accommodation and explores the Jim Crow origins of the “Mrs. Murphy” exception that has been incorporated into a handful of state nondiscrimination laws. The article then examines how existing legal frameworks address claims of sexual orientation discrimination alongside defenses based upon religious freedom. Finally, this article seeks to accelerate an emerging trend toward including sexual orientation as a protected category in our nation's nondiscrimination laws, by highlighting an opportunity to counter religious misinterpretations currently reflected in the prevailing cultural narrative. *327 I. Re-Introducing “Adam and Steve” Since at least the 1970s, the phrase “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” has been used by conservative Christians (and others) to express opposition to civil rights claims by gays and lesbians.
