19、n food, love or exercise.“ said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body.

32、 chairman passed his first big test by persuading William McDonough, the respected president of the New York Federal Reserve, to run the new accounting oversight board created by Congress last summer. He has also opened an important inquiry into trading practices at the New York Stock Exchange. The

35、to Mr. Purcell describing concern over his “troubling lack of contrition“ , and reminding him that Morgan could face further legal problems if it denied the settled charges.Besides being unusual, Mr. Donaldsons move was a powerful use of his offices bully pulpit (讲坛). With all the talk about whether
