1. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the story of King Lear and his daughters was popular. By the time Elizabeth died, there were at least a dozen books that made the story available. It was a simple narrative because it had an obvious moral and undeveloped characters. Shakespeare must have read several versions before beginning work on Lear, perhaps his greatest tragedy. His characters were based on the stock figures of legend, but he turned them into credible human beings with complex motives.

2. It would appear that the issue is whether the date an operation intends to close down might be part of management's "duty to disclose" during contract bargaining. Management has to bargain in good faith in order to minimize conflict. Companies are obligated to disclose major changes in an operation during bargaining so that the union can put make proposals, although case law in scanty on this matter.

3. In Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, the most important event is Athens' catastrophic Sicilian Invasion, so three-quarters of the history is devoted to setting it up. We can see how Thucydides anticipates the invasion through his step-by-step description of Athens' decline. We need to anticipate the invasion because we see the tragic drama as inevitable.

4. A current hypothesis to explain this kind of severe condition is a toxin, elaborated by the vibrio, which alters musosal and vascular permeability. Evidence in favor of htis hypothesis includes changes in small capillaries located near the basal surface of hte epithelial cells and the appearance of numerous microvesicles in the cytoplasm. Altered capillary permeability is believed to contribute to hydrodynamic transport of fluid ito the interstitial tussue and then through the mucosa into the lumen of the gut.
