WP: "thereby preserving their way of life"

The actual context of this quote is from the tenth paragraph of the article, "Apple's iPad makes cover of Time, Newsweek" in today's Style section of the Washington Post, written by Howard Kurtz:

"Print reviewers might harbor a deep-seated wish that this tablet computer proves capable of rescuing their battered business, thereby preserving their way of life. What's more, the folks who write about technology adore fancy gizmos. Many are Mac users. They revel in the Apple-orchestrated drama of these rollouts."

WP Story Lab: "Circumstances conspired to force her to choose a different way of life"

This quote kicks off the 7th paragraph of a blog entry from the Washington Post's Story Lab, "Test of time: How to find 30 hours of leisure a week":

"Circumstances conspired to force her to choose a different way of life. She'd dropped out of corporate America when the hours and commute got to be too demanding. Then her husband, a scientist, was laid off. He was unemployed for six months. They'd just finished a massive remodel on their Massachusetts home and were in deep debt."
