Dole '68—not the senator— whose sexual encounter with his Phillips Exeter roommate led to a complaint to the Exeter infirmary and eventually to intermittent psychotherapy during both Exeter and Harvard...

The UC’s budget was $369,225 last year...
...often shed the bacteria in their feces. The bacteria can then infect crops such as lettuce, spinach, onions, or even apples when contaminated manure is used as fertilizer, or when contaminated water is used to irrigate fields. Most recently, E. coli 0157 found in bagged salads packaged by Dole sickened over two dozen people...
