...never went to work, just that he took unauthorized time off," he says. The question of how much unauthorized time Vellucci took is a difficult one--he says only that "sources indicate it happened fairly often." Unfortunately, the fact that Vellucci was frequently absent from the office does not prove much, for without access to the time sheets it is almost impossible to know whether any of the absences were authorized. And if, as Kindleberger implies, Vellucci could alter the time sheets after the fact, to "cover his ass," it may never be possible to answer the question...
Although the AIP does not accredit schools formally, it does "recognize" professional degree granting programs. In order to receive recognition, the CRP must prove, among other things, that students in the program become acquainted with the physical, social, economic and ecological "process of human settlement," Robert Brown, staff director of the New England River Basins Commission and a member of the National Education Development Committee of AIP, says. Students must also acquire first-hand experience with "the planning process" and the techniques of professional urban and regional planners...
...ensures a U.S.-Panamanian partnership for the foreseeable future and, perhaps more important, because it eliminates a major source of antagonism between the U.S. and its southern neighbors.

...into two wings: the Marxist "officials," who have temporarily gone underground, and the Provisionals, who carry on the struggle for Eire Nua (a New Ireland) on behalf of Ulster's Catholic minority. Since 1969 the Provos have killed 1,800, including 460 policemen or soldiers. But 1,000 Prove supporters are in jail, and the Ulster Catholics, who once idolized them, are weary of violence...
...novel by Avery Corman. They give us a Supreme Being capable of admitting his mistakes (ostriches, for example, and avocados), taking pleasure in his successes ("That's profound," somebody says when God manifests his wisdom at one point; "Sometimes I get lucky," responds the deity). Called upon to prove his powers by changing the weather, he makes it rain only inside the skeptic's car, there being no point in spoiling everyone else's day. Asked about recent miracles, he lays claim only to the New York Mets' 1969 World Series victory. Mostly he dismisses matters...
