...paid by the old company). Another 25% will be set aside for developments and improvements of the canal; this will include the $287 million "ninth program" planned by the old company before seizure, which by 1968 would make the canal two-way for two-thirds of its length and deepen it enough to handle tankers up to 60,000 tons...
...present course structure of the Department. First, the Department might introduce a required half, or perhaps full, course for all prospective classicists, acquainting them with the major and minor classical figures, when they lived, and what, in outline, they had to say. Such a course would not only deepen students' understanding of the text, but would enable them to choose with some degree of understanding which authors they wished to study most intensely.

...girl's presence in the home, and the pastor's growing affection for her, is not easy for his family to bear. This uneasiness lasts throughout the movie.

He stressed the real selfishness and womanishness in so self-consciously royal, but wholly unkingly, a figure; he showed the spindly weakness behind what Coleridge called Richard's "wordy courage." But Actor Neville failed to deepen or sustain the role. It was not just that by wallowing in self-pity he never seemed pitiful; that might argue severity of purpose in an actor. Unhappily, he never seemed sick, or contemptible, or tragic either. He merely seemed elaborate. He turned rhetoric into verbosity and Richard...
