...history student whose father is Governor-General of Malta. "We get on very well," says Sibylla, but she refuses to be labeled a "girl friend." Generally, Charles dates friends of Princess Anne or daughters of his mother's friends, and it may well be that his wife will be chosen from this tiny circle. There are no European princesses about who seem to be the right age, and he is?in theory at least?free to marry just about anyone as long as she is an undivorced member of the Church of England...
...approved is a model for law students everywhere on "just how bad a constitution can be," said Richard Christie, head of the law department of the University College of Rhodesia. In a bit of constitutional sleight-of-hand, it provides for a largely ceremonial head of state who is chosen by the Executive Council, or cabinet.

They accused the police officers of beating and threatening the people in the motel in a desperate attempt to find a sniper who proved in the end to have been imaginary. Witnesses, some with criminal records, charged that August took Pollard into a room, that there was a shot...
Tiger draws certain analogies between male bonds and sexual attraction. To him, initiation into all-male groups like fraternities resembles courtship: neophytes are wooed and chosen with the same meticulous care as mates. Investiture into a masculine order-an army unit or the Masons-is like marriage, which explains in part the thread that binds the warrior to his buddy. At its least edifying, says Tiger, the male bond unites homosexuals-men whose "eagerness to attract other males may as clearly betray a craving for male bonds as a confusion about sexual identity and the desire to be female...
