...instance, in Beijing, everyone will be flying in and staying in a very specific area of the city, while in Salt Lake people can drive in and they might stay anywhere within a 50-mile radius. So people are spread out all over the place, in little clumps of crowds. And ironically, the issue of crowd control has never really been paramount at U.S. games because, as I mentioned before, we do tend to gear our events towards freedom of movement...
...Bureau of Justice Statistics. The number is higher for men like Sanders, who have been released before and gone back before. Sanders has a 12-page criminal history; it depicts a petty drug dealer, a car thief--a career of committing and recommitting crimes within a very small radius of his childhood home. But since his release, Sanders has done almost all that reformers can reasonably expect of an ex-con who has never completed high school; who was abused as a child; who lost seven family members to murder, fire and disease; who has an epic history of drug...
Ophelia knows three other women on her street who have had sons in and out of prison. In a three-block radius surrounding her house, there are roughly 50 to 100 men on parole, according to 2000 New York State division of parole data.

Directly outside the shelter, men worked the corner, smoking and doping. Police made frequent sweeps, stopping whoever wasn't in motion. Sanders was careful not to pause. Even so, over the course of three months, he was searched twice...
...they can't wait to soar from the battlefield straight to paradise, a garden of fountains and beautiful women who are not wearing burqas. But once those 15,000 pound "Daisy-Cutter" bombs started falling, exploding in a lethal fuel-air mixture that kills everything in a 600-yard radius, it doesn't mater how fanatical you are, or how gorgeous you believe the women are who waiting for you in paradise. Every instinct of survival kicks in, and you run. The only difference between the Afghans and the Pakistani and Arab guest fighters is that the Afghans who were...
