...cent (while the non-Blacks yield remained at 75 per cent)--is related to the release of the Klitgaard report. The study was not mentioned by any of the Blacks who turned Harvard down, officials says, although extensive surveying of people who opted for other schools did not occur this year (such analysis takes place every three to five years and last happened in 1979). Fitzsimmons calls the yield decline insignificant, while Evans says that, if anything caused the decline, it was economics. "I can think of a handful who just couldn't deal with the money. With the cost...
...chipper through a precision bombing run that nearly jolted him out of his white-draped deck chair. Addressing the Constellation's 5,000 officers and crew later, Reagan reaffirmed his pledge of "a 600-ship Navy, a Navy that is big enough to deter aggression wherever it might occur. Let friend and foe alike know America has the muscle to back up its words." Then he queued up with enlisted men for steak and vegetables in the mess, and afterward pronounced his entire visit "a Yankee Doodle...
...Pressers, according to the reports, met regularly with the agents in Washington, Miami, Cleveland and Las Vegas. They hoped to arrange "targets of exchange"-people that the Government could prosecute instead of themselves or their cronies. These turned out to be Fitzsimmons' enemies.

Though PASOK calls for the state takeover of such key Greek business sectors as steelmaking, petrochemical fertilizers and the cement industry, Papandreou has refused to spell out precisely how this would occur or how businessmen would be compensated. As PASOK's election prospects have improved, Papandreou's position has moderated somewhat. He no longer urges outright withdrawal from NATO and the European Community or a shutdown of U.S. bases. Instead, he is calling for a referendum on Community membership and annual negotiations with the U.S. on the status of bases. Although a Socialist government in a country...
These justifications have gradually been debunked. Cleanliness can be assured by teaching a boy to wash his penis. Cancer of the penis, a very rare malignancy, occurs about equally in circumcised men and in those with foreskins intact who wash thoroughly. Studies indicating that women married to circumcised men have a lower incidence of cervical cancer have been either inadequate or flawed. Review of one study, for example, revealed that about half the women had incorrectly answered questions regarding whether their husbands were circumcised. A sizable portion of the men were also wrong in assessing their condition. Circumcision will correct...
