...Fedora, the bullwhip... the snakes! We see the hat just before we see Indy; brown headwear is still in style in 1957. As for Indy's bullwhip, it's still faster and deadlier than a bad guy's gun. In the opening Area 51 scene, he uses it to disarm about a quillion Russkies, and to swing in Errol Flynn style from one warehoused beam to another.

Since then, the amount of debt which students graduate with has continued to rise, significantly faster than the rate of inflation. For a student graduating with more than $20,000 of debt, a public service career is not a viable option. This is the very barrier that PSLRPs for undergraduates would seek to topple...
...face of some seriously challenging conditions. “The conditions were some of the worst that I’ve raced in,” captain Katharine Woodman-Maynard said. “We had really heavy chop, lots of waves, and a tailwind which made the race faster. Very squirrelly conditions.” “They weren’t very clean conditions or clean races,” Kharrazi added. “It’s tough to race in conditions like that, in any of the extremes. Wind is the most extreme condition...
