...proof of a link and adds that there is no sickness pattern among those who were at Kamisiyah. Critics argue that the lack of a pattern is not conclusive. Some researchers suggest that chemical agents may cause illness through a specific sequence of events that can affect everyone differently. They fear that a combination of nerve-gas exposure, prewar vaccinations against such toxins and environmental hazards like smoky oil fires may all trigger variations of the syndrome in different victims. Scientists have begun to explore the effect of minuscule doses of such gases. In the past it was thought that...
...some people, nor do I believe that the council should not represent student issues to the administration. However, the interests represented should have a visible impact on the quality of student life. The Undergraduate Council should make tangible differences on campus that people can see--not actions that affect only those in countries thousands of miles away.

The difference is that Kinnell's paradises are earthbound, and sometimes found in odd places; in "Parkinson's Disease," for example, he describes a paralyzed old man, living in his daughter's care, as about "to pass from this paradise into the next." Here, being loved and cared for reveals paradise; elsewhere, it's found in sexual union. The book has three rather...
