>From today's Philadelphia edition of the Metro newspaper, page 5, column
entitled "60seconds", interview with Robert Tuchman, founder and
president, TSE Sports and Entertainment:

        >>>
[Q] What does your company do?

[A] TSE is a company that specializes in everything from planning and
managing sports entertainment programs to developing consumer
promotions.

The bleaching of "specialize in" to apparently mean nothing more than
'do' is nothing new. But I would like to confront this guy and ask him,
"What do you MEAN by 'specialize'?!"
