 Union: Anthrax Excuse for Postal Cuts
WASHINGTON –– The new president of the nation's largest postal union is accusing the Postal Service of using the anthrax attacks to improve its bottom line by trying to freeze pay and cut benefits.
William Burrus, president-elect of the American Postal Workers Union, said Wednesday that the Postal Service was guilty of "institutional hypocrisy."

Burrus acknowledged that the arbitration dispute and the anthrax attacks have created an often awkward situation.

 InnovationTools book review - Technotrends by Daniel Burrus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
That’s because author Burrus does a masterful job of demystifying the technologies that will have the greatest impact on our lives in the years ahead, and the new rules of competition these technologies create.
Even the style of the book is disarming: Burrus has created a cast of fictional characters to take part in a series of imaginary card games - where the cards highlight the new tools of technology and new rules of competition.
These imaginary conversations are sprinkled with questions from his fellow card players, giving Burrus a powerful tool to illuminate other aspects of these tools and rules, and for raising and answering common questions about them.

 FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code
Upon this petition the writ was issued, and the defendant Burrus and his wife appeared before Judge DUNDY at a regular term of the district court.
The result of these efforts was that the father proceeded somewhat further into the state of Iowa, while the defendants, taking possession of the child with violence and against the will of the father, returned with it to the state of Nebraska.
According to this view of the subject, the whole proceeding before the district judge in the district court was coram non judice and void, and the attempt to enforce the judgment by attachment and imprisonment of Burrus for contempt of that order is equally void.

 The Sex Lives of Saints | Burrus, Virginia
Focusing on hagiographical literature, Virginia Burrus pursues a fresh path of interpretation, arguing that the early accounts of the lives of saints are not anti-erotic but rather convey a sublimely transgressive "counter-eroticism" that resists the marital, procreative ethic of sexuality found in other strands of Christian tradition.
Burrus subsequently proceeds through close, performative readings of the earliest Lives of Saints, mostly dating to the late fourth and early fifth centuries—Jerome's Lives of Paul, Malchus, Hilarion, and Paula; Gregory of Nyssa's Life of Macrina; Augustine's portrait of Monica; Sulpicius Severus's Life of Martin; and the slightly later Lives of so-called harlot saints.
Virginia Burrus is Professor of Early Church History at the Theological School and the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies at Drew University.
