...that his reforms did not pose a threat to foreign capital. That mainly comes from U.S. corporations, who have a $1 billion stake-more than in any other Asian country except Japan-in oil, mining and other industries in the Philippines. In a telegram to Malacanang Palace, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Manila, forgetting its manners as a foreign guest, effusively praised Marcos' program...
...Kanavos Enterprises, maintains that criticism of the designed 19-story inn from "a small group" is "based on vague, uncertain and ambiguous aesthetic concepts and preferences."

(The rest is water, salt, spices and preservatives.) This deterioration is yet another of technology's ambiguous gifts...
...Speaker's ruling. Had Mutscher asked him his purpose in rising, he could have refused to recognize Denton just as he had done with Farenthold. Instead, Mutscher simply said, "Yes, Mr. Denton," and the House was forced to consider his appeal. What is more, Mutscher had to leave the chamber for the duration of the appeal...
