...Feniou were involved in making a beer funnel, a long-standing Pennypacker tradition that takes advantage of the dorm’s sizeable central stairways. The funneling device was constructed, fourth floor resident Devin C. Powell ‘03 explains, from “an old piece of pipe that was all nasty, that we found in a closet.” The pipe had a capacity of six beers at a time, creating an epic mess on the ground floor. “You’d walk into Pennypacker for weeks afterward and smell the stench from...
...more than 5% of that. Refineries operate at less than 30% of capacity. But the picture belies a deeper reality: Iraq is potentially the most important new player in the global oil market. Although each day brings fresh accounts of breakdowns in the country's crude-oil machinery--fractured pipe-lines, controls damaged by looters, rusting equipment, 1970s technology in the 21st century--Iraq is the only country capable of flooding the world with cheap oil on the scale of Saudi Arabia. And that poses a major test for Washington...

In Amoy Gardens, for example, transmission may have occurred via contaminated fecal matter leaking from a broken sewage pipe. That would explain the lack of direct contact, as well as the fact that all these cases, unlike those in mainland China and Toronto, are characterized by severe diarrhea...
...plan to include the U.N. in the effort to rebuild Iraq prevails over Rumsfeld's unilateral approach. But given Bush's go-it-alone war rhetoric, it doesn't look good for the sensible path espoused by Powell. So it appears that the hawks are destined to win. Their pipe dream of quickly building a democracy is ludicrous. And what if Iraq's free choice of leadership does not meet with the hawks' approval? Would pre-emptive intervention be necessary again?
