...page and struck me right across my complacent face. "In a survey at Harvard five years ago 93 percent of male students said that if 'they had the chance and were sure they would not get caught, they would consider forcing a woman to have sex without her consent,'" it said. I thought, no, it's not possible. That figure must be a typo! Probably the real percentage is only 73, or 43, or 13 percent. Then I thought, well, surveys are always questionable.

Tenants and officials said that if HRI buys the building, it may eventually convert it to condominiums under a limited equity co-op plan that would make the tenants co-owners. Such an arrangment would require the consent of 80 percent of the tenants...
...perhaps with the consent of Massachusett's junior senator, John Kerry--added an 11th hour ban against the Federal Communication Commission's spending money on cross ownership hearings to an 800-page omnibus spending package passed just before Congress adjorned for the holidays.

The hospital's bone bank is one of several hundred nationwide. With prior consent, doctors routinely remove bones from patients who die suddenly, check them for infections such as hepatitis and AIDS, encase them in plastic and store them at -112 degreesF in freezers. Though the living tissue is killed by the extreme cold, the bone's structure survives. Thus, once surgeons implant the new graft, tissue rejection -- the unforgiving nemesis of most transplant...
...Antenor shipped his daughter off to North Africa with a chaperone. Jimmy chartered a plane and pursued her. The Patino menage doubled back to Paris. Jimmy found her there and persuaded her to elope with him to Scotland, where no parental consent was needed after the age of 18. Don Antenor chased the fugitives to Edinburgh and hired detectives to find them. By now reporters were also in hot pursuit of the couple they continually referred to as the playboy and the heiress. The fugitives hid in various friends' houses for the < three weeks required to establish Scottish residence, then...
