Save Your General! This had also been the frustrating pattern farther north, in the Kivu region, where for weeks, shouting, spear-waving rebels had threatened Bukavu, the biggest town (pop. 33,500) of the eastern Congo. Government troops clearly had the weapons and the manpower to deal harshly with the marauders; yet each time the army units tried to push down the Ruzizi Valley toward the terrorist headquarters at Uvira, they scattered in fright at the first sight of a rebel band. It took the T-28s-and the presence of Army Commander General Joseph Mobutu himself-to rally...
...pick their own replacements and serve until they are 68. For most of Yale's history, the ten successors ran the corporation, reluctantly agreed to give graduates representation in 1871. In earlier times, the ten were invariably Congregational ministers from Connecticut, like Yale's founding fathers. This pattern was smashed in 1905: the corporation admitted a Congregational minister from New York. The only Congregationalist left is Amos N. Wilder, a Harvard divinity professor, who must retire this year...

And, most important, the stars and stripes never appear together at the same time on the same sheet, pillowcase or reversible bath towel (stars or stripes, never both, border the sheets, mix or match with towels and pillowcases in overall prints of either pattern).

...drastically different design (see cut) is now being tested in a Tacoma, Wash., federal district court. Breaking with a pattern that dates back to the Middle Ages, Judge George Boldt, 60, moved his bench into a corner, put the witness stand in his old spot, stationed the jury box so that jurors can look directly at the witness, and gave the attorneys a lectern at which to stand while speaking and questioning witnesses...
Mining in Canada seems to follow a pattern of seven years of fat, seven years of lean. The great uranium boom pumped $10 billion into the Canadian economy between 1950 and 1957, then fizzled. Now, after seven fairly slender years, a new mining rush is on. Some 900 companies are drilling for metals and oil from New Brunswick to British Columbia...
