Congress mandated student access to files in 1974 with the passage of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, also known as the Buckley Amendment. The purpose of the law was twofold. First, to ensure that students would not be handicapped later in life by inaccurate records, the bill allowed students (and the parents of schoolchildren) to expunge erroneous material and to control third-party access to files. Second, to give students some understanding of the basis on which school authorities came to vital decisions about them, the law granted students access to their educational records...
...United States government is also anxious to improve relations with Iran through programs such as RSKU. U.S. oil companies especially derive great benefits from continued access to Iran's oil, and from the role Iran's army is currently playing in maintaining U.S. interests by throttling the independence movement of the Dhofari people in Oman...
...rapacious commercial exploitation, New York State's Urban Development Corporation in 1969 leased the island from the city for 99 years and has spent $180 million on it. But development has been crimped by money shortages-and, until this week, by the fact that the only means of access was by a backdoor, time-consuming route across a bridge from Queens. Only 2,148 of the planned 5,000 apartments have been built; a town center, office building and hotel have been indefinitely postponed...
...firm price for it with the U.S. aircraft manufacturers. Finding such a customer will be difficult; there is a global glut of oil, and even tiny fluctuations in price can cut sharply into refinery profits. But the task is not impossible. Several independent oil companies that have lost access to Canadian oil since Canada cut exports to the U.S. are looking for other assured supplies. They may be further enticed by the billions of barrels of crude involved. General Dynamics alone may take 100,000 bbl. per day of Iranian crude for the next seven years in return...
...easier niche to recede into without doubts. When my own and my peers' parents were young, the strictures against sleeping with several people were greater than now, and doing it was harder and riskier anyway--for lack of privacy, close and habitual contact between the sexes, and easy access to contraceptives. Even if they were curious about what an intimate relationship with a second or third person would be like, the chances of finding out were small, so it was easier to adjust to the good thing they had and forget that there can be more than one good thing...
