He is a prominent Philadelphia business man who owns the majority of the stock of Victor Export and Import Company, which trades on the New York Stock Exhange. His business requires him to do extensive international traveling. In order to get financing for steel beams needed for the construction of the Freedom Tower Condominium, which is to be the tallest building in Philadelphia, he travels to England to meet his friend Harold Dunn, Head Manager of Dover Bank. Thereafter, he travels to Hong Kong with another friend, Marshall Gooding, a highly reputed Professor of Business and Economics at Oxford University. In Hong Kong, Jonathan Meets with his agent, Kim Lee, who is to order the steel beams from Hokyoshi Steel Company in Japan. Before leaving from England to Hong Kong, Jonathan meets Lady Millicent Browckworth, a beautiful English aristocrat, to whom he is drawn, not withstanding his love for his family. When the large order of steel beams reaches the Port of Philadelphia, the beams are to be taken from the ship to the waiting flatbed trucks, to be transported to the Freedom Tower Condominium.

Life of a Lawyer

By: Jerry Zaslow

All of the stories contained in this book actually happened. There are many other stories which have been left out because there are just too many cases to cover over fifty years of law practice. Every lawyer has legal stories to tell provided that clients cases must be kept confidential. The “attorney-client privilege” must always be maintained. Lawyers are all bound by a “Code of Ethics.” They are not permitted to do just anything they feel like doing. Honesty, scruples morals, respect and integrity are key to being a good lawyer. The work of the lawyer is to help people in legal need. As stated in Deuteronomy, 16:20 “Justice, Justice Shall Though Pursue.”

The Time Divide

work, family, and gender inequality

By: Jerry A. JACOBS,Kathleen Gerson,Jerry A Jacobs

In a panoramic study that draws on diverse sources, Jerry Jacobs and Kathleen Gerson explain why and how time pressures have emerged and what we can do to alleviate them. In contrast to the conventional wisdom that all Americans are overworked, they show that time itself has become a form of social inequality that is dividing Americans in new ways--between the overworked and the underemployed, women and men, parents and non-parents. They piece together a compelling story of the increasing mismatch between our economic system and the needs of American families, sorting out important trends such as the rise of demanding jobs and the emergence of new pressures on dual earner families and single parents. Comparing American workers with their European peers, Jacobs and Gerson also find that policies that are simultaneously family-friendly and gender equitable are not fully realized in any of the countries they examine. As a consequence, they argue that the United States needs to forge a new set of solutions that offer American workers new ways to integrate work and family life. Table of Contents: Acknowledgments Introduction Part I: Trends in Work, Family, and Leisure Time 1. Overworked Americans or the Growth of Leisure? 2. Working Time from the Perspective of Families Part II: Integrating Work and Family Life 3. Do Americans Feel Overworked? 4. How Work Spills Over into Life 5. The Structure and Culture of Work Part III: Work, Family, and Social Policy 6. American Workers in Cross-National Perspective with Janet C. Gornick 7. Bridging the Time Divide 8. Where Do We Go from Here? Appendix: Supplementary Tables Notes References Index Jacobs and Gerson present the most fine-grained analysis yet offered of working time and its impacts on families. They successfully combine sophisticated analyses of quantitative data with breakthroughs in the conceptualization of work time. Their focus on household work time and their incorporation of subjective aspects of work-family conflict are welcome additions to the study of work time. As a result of their nuanced treatment, they avoid making simplistic generalizations that have marked many previous treatments of this topic. --Rosalind Chait Barnett, Brandeis University, and co-author of Same Difference: How Myths About Gender Differences Are Hurting Our Relationships, Our Children, and Our Jobs This is an outstanding book. It offers powerful arguments in the debates over work-family conflict going on in academia and society. The data the authors bring to bear on the subject offer new insights that support their analysis and policy recommendations. Scholars of the workplace and of contemporary American society as well as public policy advocates must read this book! --Cynthia Fuchs Epstein, City University of New York, and co-author of The Part-time Paradox: Time Norms, Professional Life, Family and Gender The Time Divide makes a substantial contribution to the work-family literature and will be cited often by those with an interest in women's employment, children's well-being, family functioning, and work in America. Its appeal will be broad and capture the attention of policy makers along with academics in a number of disciplines including sociology, family studies, and public policy. The book is engagingly written and the logic of the analysis is sound. --Suzanne Bianchi, University of Maryland, and co-author of Continuity and Change in the American Family The main thesis is original and important: that Americans are not, in general, overworked; rather, they can be divided into both the overworked and the underworked. The former are usually found in the upper half of the occupational distribution, the latter in the lower half. The overworked wish they could work less, and the underworked wish they could work more. Overall, The Time Divide significantly advances our understanding of just where the time divide lies. And that's an important contribution. --Andrew J. Cherlin, Johns Hopkins University, and author of Public and Private Families
