Kennedy promptly took off on a three-day campaign blitz of seven cities, extending from Manchester, N.H., to Charleston, S.C.

And as for the office seekers, they could bank on a rule of Kenyan politics...
Although the first shale patent was granted in England in 1694 and called for distilling "oyle from a kind of stone," oil from the dark, veined rock so far has not been developed primarily because conventional petroleum has always been cheaper.
