...solutions. Student Assembly leaders are still unable to lead, not knowing which of their actions and activities the University will permit. Right now, the assembly can't show a film under its own auspices, put up a poster, or even reserve a room for a meeting without circumventing normal University procedures...
Washington brows are beginning to furrow at the prospect that the U.S. might wind up with not even enough oil for itself, let alone anyone else. The nation depends on Iran for only about 5% of its petroleum needs, but other countries are nowhere near so lucky. Worldwide, Iran normally supplies about 20% of the total petroleum imports of all the consuming nations. Japan usually relies on Iran for 15% of its needs, and Western Europe generally is heavily dependent on Iranian oil, as is Israel, whose oil needs the U.S. has pledged to fulfill in the event of shortages...

A spongy cauliflower-shaped mass on the back of his head and other body growths gave off an odious suppuration. His hip was deformed, and he could scarcely walk. Only his left arm and his genitals were unmarred. So grotesque was Merrick's body, in fact, that he was banned from appearing in sideshows, for a time...
