Good one. That was a toughy. Alright, let’s really pour it on and see what happens...
...seven months operating on wounded soldiers at Landstuhl. "These guys are surviving incredible amounts of trauma, and they're doing well." Armored vehicles and protective gear mean that killer head and chest wounds are far less likely than in the past. Portable blood supplies and blood-clotting powders to pour into wounds have reduced the death toll even further. But many of the men and women who pass through Landstuhl owe their lives to the Critical Care Air Transport Teams (ccatts), the flying intensive-care units that treat the troops as they are lifted from the battlefield by helicopter...
...financial and political clout of business and conservative interests to carry out the G.O.P. agenda and increase its majority in Congress.

The result would be a smaller budget, and presumably less political clout, for the AFL-CIO. A challenge to Sweeney's political clout may also be in the offing. Hotel workers' union president John W.
