Sullivan and other tenants proposed that landlords be allowed increases that would permit increased insulation. Landlords said they would need rent board assurances that they could pass along the costs of the conservation measures before banks would lend money for the moves...
With few large bridges or population centers, Kunar does not lend itself to mechanized warfare. But the fact has not deterred the Soviet juggernaut. Few towns lying near the sinuous Kunar River have escaped. Chenar and Dangam, first bombed by MiGs, were later also hit by rocket-firing helicopters.

After escorting their women into Pakistan, most men return, climb a few thousand feet higher...

One of the most successful was the Rural Electrification Administration, which, beginning in 1936, provided the money that lighted American farm communities.

But banks are now paying as much as 19% to borrow the money they lend. Citibank, the nation's second largest financial institution, has threatened to incorporate all its Visa and MasterCard business in South Dakota, where bank cards may charge as much as 24%, unless New York raises the level of interest that can be charged. Chicago's First National Bank...
