...that 87 percent of students would prefer to eat dinner after 7:15 p.m. (the current closing time of River Houses) at least five days a week. If HUDS had to compete for student business, it would almost certainly stay open till 8:30 or 9:00 p.m. to draw late-dining residents. Similarly, a HUDS responsive to student tastes would be more likely to offer meals that students enjoy and less likely to re-serve last week’s unused meatloaf...
...star Mary Carey, the diminutive Gary Coleman, and the ultimately successful Arnold Schwarzenegger, vied for the governorship.

There was no Game those years. Because as Yogi Berra said, “a tie is like kissing your sister...
...John Abizaid made it remarkably clear that he didn't see any good options. He said that he didn't want to add more troops (except to train Iraqis) because the Maliki government would never take responsibility for security if he did. But he doesn't want to draw forces down either. Why? He said that none - as in zero - of the nearly 100 already trained Iraqi army units were ready to operate independent of U.S. forces. And he said it would be another 12 to 18 months before they were. And those are Iraqi months - which means it might...
