...fish and a few birds. No dinosaurs, though. While the rocks date back some 110 million years, smack in the middle of the terrible lizards' reign, not a single dinosaur bone had ever been found there. As far as amateur paleontologist Giovanni Todesco knew, that dismal record was still intact even after he unearthed a 9-in.-long specimen about a decade ago. The nearly complete skeleton, missing only its tail and the lower part of its legs, looked as if it belonged to a bird, and that's what Todesco assumed...
After the Class of '98 graduates, some of us will remember when the Houses had character, but none who lived with it intact will remain at the College; only members of the Class of '99 will remember that randomization began as an experiment.

I have also mentioned to Richard Butler that within his own organization, on the ground, he should strengthen the mechanism...

She had sued Grisham and Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, alleging the novel was too similar to her copyrighted book "Defending the Devil: My Story as Ted Bundy's Last Lawyer." A U.S. district court dismissed the case before it went to trial after an "exhaustive examination of both books" showed them to be substantially dissimilar. The decision was affirmed...
