...calculating the costs of alternative meals plans, we have assumed that the fixed costs of the Food Services--labor, administrative, and overhead--should be borne equally by all resident students. The variable prices will reflect only the differences in the non-fixed, food costs. (This appears to be the practice at every other school we have examined.) Thus the savings that might result to those who purchase a 14-meal plan would come solely from a reduction in the cost of the food that they eat. At the same time, this would mean that board contracts would rise for those...
Hundreds of tanks and armored cars thundered through the streets of Tehran last week, as U.S.-made Phantom jets screamed through the skies overhead. In a powerful show of force, the Iranian armed forces rolled out their heaviest armament and their flashiest regiments for the annual armed forces day parade. Traditionally, the festivities are an occasion for full-dress reviews and elegant tea parties for officers and their wives.

Thus, the budworm moths, having feasted on the trees and flying in well-defined swarms that may have measured miles across, could have been on nocturnal migrations when the people of Roosevelt began seeing those strange, dancing lights. Indeed, as the moths hovered and blinked overhead, while trying to escape atmospheric electric fields on certain stormy nights, they might well have resembled what the scientists call a great "free-floating discoth?...

...white-hulled vessel Kvitungen, carrying six expert Norwegian seal hunters to and fro between half a dozen uninhabited islands. Snapping at their heels was the 500-ton trawler Rainbow Warrior, crewed by 14 militant ecologists. Bringing up the rear were three boatloads of eager journalists, with reinforcements overhead in helicopters and light aircraft. At stake in the curious nautical exercise were the lives of some 6,000 generally inoffensive members of the species Halichoerus grypus, commonly known as the gray seal...
