Labeling the lack of money "a pervasive problem." Princeton physics professor Val Fitch says that the lack of funds "simply means a slower pace for research. It's a linear relationship...
Sexual energy and tension are the primary unifying elements of the production. Actors often pace back and forth across the stage during dialogue in a strange form of pursuit and evasion, particularly when the subject of the dialogue is sex. Each scene is replete with suggestive gestures and glances; a strained argument between Melchior's parents becomes an almost threatening seduction scene. Eroticism quickly becomes a constant in the play. As a result, the overtly sexual scenes, often shocking and brutal in the script, appear almost cathartic on stage.

More than just an upset, the 800-meter race was the most stirring event of the week. It became a photo finish, and four men made the picture. Earl Jones, 20, an Eastern Michigan University sophomore, set a killing pace and somehow held on against Johnny Gray, who was awarded the same 1:43.74 American record time.

The third and fourth places were also assigned the same time (1:43.92), so John Marshall made the team...
...movies, they work in parodies of Bond-style adventures and beach-blanket and malt-shop rock-'n'-roll musicals.

Top Secret! plays more like a pillow fight in a summer-camp cabin, an agreeable...
...headquarters in Washington in a direct plea to Managing Director Jacques de Larosière and the fund's 22-member executive board. The plan calls for Argentine workers to receive 6% to 8% wage hikes this year on top of whatever increases they need to keep pace with inflation. IMF economists have argued that such a policy could cause Argentina's 568% inflation rate to spiral even higher. But Alfonsín hopes that the IMF board, which is controlled by the governments of the major industrial countries, will be sympathetic to the political plight of Argentina...
