Several years after I retired my plastic pumpkin candy carrier, Nixon moved away. He left Saddle River and took up residence in a townhouse in nearby Park Ridge. The townhouse was much easier to maintain than the sprawling Nixon estate. Since his departure, Saddle River and its trick-or-treating scene have never been the same...
...theory is thin. As Flight 427 approached the airport, it was following a Delta Airlines 727, a heavier Boeing plane that generates a slightly stronger wake. Flight 427 trailed the other jet by 4.1 nautical miles, well within the FAA regulation that requires two planes of such weights to maintain a separation of 3 nautical miles. If the 727 wake did jostle the 737 sufficiently to contribute to the latter's plunge, it would be a first. While 727s were the lead craft in seven of the 52 wake-vortex encounters documented by the NTSB from 1983 through...
...still has serious drawbacks compared with cable. Despite the space-age technology, satellite dishes cannot deliver one very homely piece of the media pie: local stations. To get them, satellite customers must either switch back to an ordinary antenna or maintain their basic cable service. Despite a better-quality picture, moreover, DBS depends on a clear line of sight to the southern sky (where DBS satellites are floating 22,000 miles above the earth) and can be disrupted by storms. And bugs still remain in the digital picture quality: very fast action, such as football plays, can sometimes break...
There is no such thing as a dominant Canadian culture. This can be both a good and a bad thing. Canada has never developed a tangible sense of national identity beyond a strange Anglo-Franco-non-Americo cultural loan. The fruitcake model is expensive to maintain, providing government services in multiple tongues and grants to scores of multicultural groups. In Canada these costs are judged to be worth the more tolerant, less divisive and more racially secure situation which fruitcake societies produce...
Harvard itself continues to maintain that it acted appropriately and responsively. Its actions, however, belie its press releases. If Harvard did have good reason to believe that the boy was not a threat, University officials have yet to explain...
