Second-year student and Trucker leader William E. "Buzzsaw" Growney Jr. originated the idea for the coalition last year when he was fed up with the council's politics...
...palm trees and ferns on the edge of a dying inland sea. One day a mature male T. rex, weighing up to five tons and measuring nearly 40 feet in length, died in a silty washout. At least two albertosaurs, sharp-toothed scavengers about half T. rex's size, fed on the carcass, leaving a few of their teeth behind.

Conversely, Arafat was compelled toward moderation after the Soviet Union's demise deprived him of a superpower patron, and even more when his mistaken allegiance to Iraq over Kuwait cost him his bankroll from the gulf states. Without money, without visible progress in the two-year-old peace talks he had endorsed, fundamentalism's rise threatened to make him irrelevant...
