...Council gets its income from a $600 yearly endowment plus the profits it earns at its intersession tournament. In the past the tournament profit has been as high as $1500, but the amount has varied and has been an irregular source of support. Compared to other top-rate debating schools, Jones said, Harvard has one of the lowest budgets in the country...
...Defense Secretary Robert McNamara once envisioned putting up in Viet Nam below the DMZ to prevent North Vietnamese infiltration. It consists of an outer line of 8-ft.-high barbed wire and an inner, 5-ft.-high line 10 yds. away. The space between is laced with mines. At irregular intervals along the fence are strung electronic sensing devices, which raise an alarm in adjacent guard posts when an infiltrator tries to cross. The guards in turn alert nearby army units, equipped to react quickly with helicopters and powerful searchlights...

In The Bacchae, the gods are gods indeed, but their order is--besides whimsical--cruel and misguided. And Mayer's willingness to portray Dionysus as an effeminate, self-absorbed individual, worthy of nearly every label the unbelieving Pentheus...
...disappear from their villages for a few days into the mountains, where old partisans and army experts show them the location of arms caches, teach them how to use the weapons and instruct them in the use of radio transmitters.

All told, the Yugoslavs could probably put about one million men into their rugged, forbidding hills to harass any invader with guerrilla tactics...
...engineers that skyscrapers would be safe. With the ceiling abolished, the city's skyline slowly began to rise. The major impetus was supplied by the completion of a network of freeways during the '60s. They not only converge on the core of the city but form an irregular loop around it, making driving downtown comparatively easy. Most of the new skyscrapers have sprung up along the sector of the freeway loop that is closest to the downtown core. As a result, the center of downtown Los Angeles has shifted several blocks west, while the eastern part...
