...sensation of Strawberries and Crème, fresh from the French Alps! However, our new game also shows us that a few houses could use some serious work in their flavor-choosing skills. While placing Cappuccino alongside Orange Crème may not seem like a problem at the outset, the resulting swirl—which may fairly be dubbed Orange Crappuccino—is a less than appetizing experience...
...Republicans even plan to be nicer to Democrats. After the election, House majority leader Dick Armey was on the phone congratulating about 30 Democrats. Democrats are also being asked by committee heads like Ways and Means chairman Bill Archer to join in on, say, transportation-tax bills, at the outset.

...isn’t exactly clear when. The Curricular Review Process has been long, and, considering the resources and energy dedicated to it, unexpectedly fruitless. The “Red Book”—which spawned the legendary General Education program—was begun at the outset of World War II and was completed in 1945, and it had long-lasting effects on higher education the world over. The Core Curriculum began development in 1974, and was adopted by the Faculty in 1978. It has had long-lasting effects—something like a bad aftertaste?...
