...Rhee, answered hundreds of questions about building and operating power plants. Rhee wanted hydroelectric plants, since "water power is free." Bechtel told him that South Korea's small lakes and streams were not suitable for such plants, and that thermoelectric plants could be built more cheaply and faster, burn Korea's own coal. As Bechtel left, Rhee put his arm around him and said: "All right, if you will come over and build thermoelectric plants, I will approve them." For fear that Rhee would change his mind, Ty Wood promptly declared it an emergency project, and persuaded Bechtel...

Metabolism experts have tried to prevent this in Brantner's case by adding two amino acids, lysine and threonine, to his diet.

...service of the King of Heaven, not of the kings of clubs and diamonds. You ought to be ashamed." "Lord, I know I'm in the wrong," confesses Don Camillo. His eye turns to the fireplace, where the last of Peppone's marked deck is beginning to burn. The priest sighs-but he sighs not so much for his wrongdoing as for the realization that now, as the flames spurt up, it is too late to learn how an expert like Peppone marks the kings and queens...
