Well Groomed. Shocked, the bat returns to his roost in a cave, hollow tree or old building, and licks as much of the goo off his back as he can. In the process he poisons himself fatally. Other vampires come to help groom him, and so poison themselves. A single smeared bat has been found to cause, on the average, the death of 20 others, sometimes as many...
...boom has something of a hollow ring. Most new investors come in on the understanding that they will be able to recover their full investment within three years, which means that in four years they will have taken out of the country more than they put into it. Even so, some prospective investors decide, after a few days of exploring, that setting up shop in Zaïre is more trouble than it is worth.

He spent $319,000 on his campaign, downplaying TV pitches for fear of coming on as the big-moneyed media candidate. In last week's primary there were signs that the ecological message was getting through: 11 of the 23 candidates who won seats in the House of Delegates had the endorsement of the increasingly popular "Citizens to Abolish Strip Mining Inc." Sweeping out Moore, a savvy campaigner whose vote-pulling power started...
