...bags this year, down from the normal 3.5 million bags. The industrial diamond concession in northeastern Angola will produce less than half its prewar output of 2 million carats this year. Internal transport is a shambles: dozens of key bridges and roads have been destroyed. Perhaps the most hopeful note for Neto is that production of crude at Gulf Oil's refinery in Cabinda has been resumed; the $500 million annual royalties from the facility now account for 80% of Angola's foreign exchange earnings...
...prime reason for having an honor code, instructors frequently note that one combat officer must always be able to rely on the word of another.

I would therefore note that in an article last week Judith Kogan quoted from my publication "It is cruel to admit students who have a very low probability of measuring up to reasonable standards." Unfortunately she omitted quotation marks and inserted "minority" before "students...
