...turned out, the Israelis had earlier reduced their forces to about 3,500; in some sectors, military units had never been brought up to the strength allowed under the 1974 disengagement agreement. Washington was aware of this fact from satellite reconnaissance, but according to Cairo, did not bother to tell Egypt. Some critics accused Israel of fakery by timing the announcement of something that had already been done to coincide with the Salzburg meeting. In fact, this was not really an embarrassment to Jerusalem; Rabin, in announcing the thin-out, made a significant public commitment to keep Israeli forces...
Such strained fictions have always seemed a lot of fuss to ichthyologists. Why bother to wake the creatures of unimaginably distant geologic ages when you can find, in a condition essentially unchanged for 63 million years, a creature cruising handily off every beach in the world who once shared the planet with dinosaurs, ichthyosaurs and pterosaurs and is as strange, unpredictable and dangerous as those bad old boys...
Many companies did not even bother to hold traditional interviews on campus this year. Last year 91 companies recruited at the University of Washington; this year 46 showed up.

...home town, few live out their lives in one house. Married couples rarely stay with parents any more; even young singles are encouraged to strike out on their own. Those who leave frequently lose contact with their parents because of distance or because they are too busy to bother with the old folks, and may even be embarrassed by them. Says Anthropologist Margaret Mead, 73, and a grandmother: "The modern family, in its present form, is not equipped to care for old persons...
