...would liken it to Harvard football playing against Nebraska," said Coach Don Benson '88. "They were strong and physical. It was a game where we had to pick our victories and triumphs not in terms of score, but by what we tried to accomplish...
What surprised many scientists was that the data appeared to liken Barnacle Bill to andesites, which are volcanic rocks usually found on Earth in the Andes Mountains and other areas of explosive volcanism. Andesites are typically formed by the repeated melting, solidifying and remelting that occurs during the tectonic-plate processes that shape and reshape terrestrial continents. Yet Mars seems to have very few volcanoes and shows no signs of tectonic plates, which suggested to some scientists that the planet wasn't internally active long enough to form andesites. Then what process could have created Barnacle Bill...
PARIS: French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby used to liken his paralysis to being "a working brain kept in a jar. " That was until the publication last week of his 137-page book, "Le scaphande et le papillion" ("The Diving Suit and The Butterfly), which the onetime chief editor for Elle wrote by using his still functioning left eyelid to blink out wor ds to an assistant. But for Bauby, his escape from the hated "jar" came too late. He died Sunday night in a hospital outside of Paris at the age of 44; the cause of death was not announced...
Choi is right to liken the current University scene to a bazaar, with precious gems and useless junk laid out together indiscriminately.

The product of this assimilation may be far superior to both the bazaar and the good, but provincial, culture that came before...
...seemed to have been unaware of the passion of discontent outside Moscow, a city about as representative of Russia as New York is of America. Yeltsin himself is partly to blame for being so out of touch. Suffering from an apparently serious heart ailment, the man many Russians liken to a modern-day czar has for the past two years been a virtual Kremlin recluse. And his inner circle of aides, forever jockeying for position, seem to have concluded long ago that bearing bad news to their boss is the least career-enhancing service they can render. Given his insularity...
