I was pleased to see LEGO getting front page billing on such a renowned paper.  On
the other hand, I was disappointed to see that the Globe didn't do its research;
the front page had the word "Legos" in big bold print.  Simultaneous transgressions
in both plurality and capitalization!   While I fully admit to using many incorrect
versions of the word/toy/company in speaking, I take great care to get it right in
writing.  I would think that the Globe would have checked to get it right on the
front page story.

ah well, so it goes.

On the front page of the Boston Sunday Globe Business Section there is an

picture and the lead to the article is about how the Zefer Co. asks their
prospective employees to build something with LEGO and then they talk about it.

You can see the picture and read the article here...

This link may not work after Sunday so us this link to read the article
although you won't get the picture.  You will have to cut and past this because
it is too long and covers more than one line.

I think most of us would love an interview like that :-).
