...longevity has increased, the leadership of nations has fallen more and more to old men, whose experience tends to be inversely proportional to their physical vigor and sometimes their mental acuity as well. Decrepitude is particularly an occupational hazard of autocrats and leaders of authoritarian regimes. For many, their first choice is immortality. Failing that, they aspire to dying with their jackboots on and being interred in marble mausoleums...

Said Organizer Massad: "Some groups want an immediate, total shutdown of all nuclear plants.

Rather than suffer a penalty shot, however, Himelman entered the hazard barefoot and, in Nicklausian fashion, hammered the spheroid safely onto the putting surface. But the Leverett House senior wasted his watery acrobatics by three-putting the sloping green for a triple bogey...
