...student demand for a partial meal plan program be satisfied without considering the dining hall's integral role in the housing package, Berry says...
...unnerving that we know so little about the realities of this war. The partial news blackout, stage-managed by the U.S. military, seems a never-again overreaction to Vietnam. The longer the nation is safeguarded from the full truth, the more jarring will be the recoil when the inevitable bad news hits. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney warned, "A military operation of this intensity and complexity cannot be scored every evening like a college track meet or a basketball game." What other choice do we have but to tot up the bombing sorties, mourn the downed flyers and pray...
...impression that there was no trade agreement or easing of the cold war for which he was not, in some way, responsible. And to make sure that none of his dealings with bigwigs remained unrecorded, Hammer, or rather, his company, Oxy, maintained a film company, Hammer Productions, whose partial purpose was to film and tape the Flying Doctor wherever he went.

It would be difficult if not impossible to justify a war costing thousands...
Saddam could elect to do nothing. No withdrawal, total or partial, nor any promise of one; no further hints at a compromise deal; nothing. He would simply dig in deeper in Kuwait and dare Bush to put up or shut up on his threats to expel Iraq by force. That would amount to a hair-raising game of chicken in which Saddam would be betting that Bush would turn away first. Possibly, or so the Iraqi dictator seems to think, the American President will lose his nerve at the last second. Or perhaps Congress, the U.S. public and the allies...
