...loved the Placement Test in Math. That's because I'm an English major and never plan to take a math course. I just sat and drew little pictures of my high school algebra teachers, which I then impaled on slices of percentage pie. Of course under the new Core, you may have to take a Math course. Still it may be wise to do as badly as you can, so you can slip through with a core equivalent of Math...
...Ohio boy who was All-America at Kent State, Munson was part of the Yankees' long and impressive catching tradition-Bill Dickey, Yogi Berra and Elston Howard. Munson became a major leaguer after only 99 games in the minors. He justified the Yankees' gamble by hitting .302 and winning Rookie of the Year honors in 1970.

He was named to the All-Star team seven times, batted over .300 in World Series and playoff competition...

It has also reshaped the national economy and redistributed political power simply by encouraging the burgeoning of the sultry southerly swatch of the country, profoundly influencing major migration trends of people and industry...
...course, consider bottled mineral water the nectar of the '70s. "I've tried Perrier and Poland but I don't like the bubbles," admits Lament Richardson, who works for a major New York water supplier. "I'll stick to the sink." For Chicago Socialite Donna ("Sugar") Rautbord, the decision is the same, the reason different. "I don't want the bubbles," she spouts. "I hear they contribute to cellulite." New York Times Columnist Russell Baker does not admit to that particular worry, but he still weeps over the popularity of these waters: the nonalcoholic beverage...
