...from the Iraqi border to Khorramshahr, trees and broken telephone poles are strewn alongside the wreckage of burnt vehicles. At Khorramshahr's gutted railroad station, Iraqi soldiers use wall portraits of Ayatullah Khomeini for target practice. At the huge port sprawling along the Shatt al Arab, stacks of mammoth loading containers, stripped of their spoils by Iraqi invaders, are tangled with rusted steel pipes and charred, broken cranes. In makeshift barracks built under pylons, a few off-duty soldiers nap or thumb through magazines to pass the idle time...
...than Babe Ruth's 714, more than Hank Aaron's 755. Oh, what a commotion when Oh-san, now 40, retired!

Later, Paul verbally flogs the girl with sexual epithets.This is man, Godard is saying; I am man.Give credit where it is due: Godard has no fear of exposing himself on film. "Paul Godard" (his father's name) is an admitted self-portrait, a skull...
Even disregardiang the mammoth cost of replacing the hoods, Bio and Chem labs users dread the thought of changing them. Geoffrey P. Pollitt, director of the Bio Labs, says replacing the hoods would be "very disruptive to operations" and he would rather try using dampers on the present hoods or closing them off at night. But Donald J. Ciappenelli, director of the Chem Lab says that shutting down overnight would prove impossible because graduate students often monitor their experiments 24 hours...
