...fair to say that this is a fairly unusual situation.”UNANSWERED QUESTIONSThe FAS Resources Committee presented its plan to pay for the new expenditures at a January Faculty meeting, warning of a deficit that might otherwise hit $100 million by 2010.“Our mild-mannered dean, more than most, pushes big, expensive projects,” King said during the committee’s presentation. King referred to Kirby’s push to grow the Faculty from 635 professors in 2002 to 750 by 2010, as well as to building projects that include...

For a change, Bettie shared the screen with another woman, usually Roz Greenwood - the star couldn't put herself in bondage.

Kids today, seeing these (and they do), probably think it's kinky that their grandfathers thought...
