...Core course experience is simply not that different from taking departmental courses--just a little easier in most cases. Don't take my word for it, ask the English, Economics, Government, and East Asian Studies Departments. They all accept Core courses for concentration credit.

...players have until Dec. 16 to accept contracts with new teams or remain with their current clubs. Only two of the players are signed for next season. Downing is to be paid $850,000 by the Angels, and Whitt is to be paid $800,000 by the Blue Jays...

In February of that year she said she had told all her favorite designers that she would no longer accept any dresses on loan. The First Lady does not appear to have kept that promise...
