Count the bodies

Having apparently run out of Palestinean settlements to bulldoze, Caterpillar is cutting 20,000. Having run out of rollover minutes, Sprint Nextel is going to drop 8,000. And having run out of, well, Dutch things to do, ING announced it would curtail roughly 7,000 redundancies in the human resource department.

And on a more personal note, some comrades at Cambridge (160) and Oxford (60) University Presses have been taken off the books.

Waiting on the Hope and Changiness, Barry.
