These paragraphs have been edited so that the sentences begin with topics and end with emphasis.

1. The story of King Lear and his daughters was popular during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. By the time of her death, anyone wishing to read the story could do so in at least a dozen books. However, these early versions of the King Lear legend were undeveloped, simple narratives that stated an obvious moral. When Shakespeare began to work on Lear, perhaps his greatest tragedy, he must have had several versions available to him from which to draw inspiration. Even though the characters in these stories were based on the stock figures of legend, under Shakespeare's hand, they became credible human beings with complex motives.

2. The issue here is whether the date an operation intends to close down might be part of management's "duty to disclose" during contract bargaining. The central rationale for this duty is the minimization of conflict. In order to allow the union to put forth proposals on behalf of its members, companies are obligated to disclose major changes in an operation during bargaining. The law, however, is scanty on this matter.

3. In Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, the most important event is Athens' catastrophic Sicilian Invasion. Because of this, three-quarters of the history is devoted to setting up the invasion. We can see how Thucydides chose to anticipate it through his description of the step-by-step decline in Athenian society. The basic reason for the need to anticipate the invasion is the inevitability we associate with the tragic drama.

4. The current hypothesis to explain this kind of severe condition is mucosal and vascular permeability altered by the toxin elaborated by the vibrio. As evidence in favor of this hypothesis, we can observe changes in small capillaries located near the basal surface of the epithelial cells, and the appearance of numerous microvesicles in the cytoplasm of the mucosal cells. Altered capillary permeability is believed to play a role in hydrodynamic transport of fluid into the interstitial tissue and then through the mucosa into the lumen of the gut.

5. From July 1-Auguest 31, a 73 percent net increase (from $32,934 to $56.792) was realized in the Ohio and Kentucky areas.
