...terms of the climate machine, El Nino is more than just a sudden warm current off Peru. It refers to a rise in sea-surface temperatures over much of the equatorial Pacific as well as a change in winds and ocean currents. Indeed, there is a kind of climatic flip-flop, with a reversal of conditions across a wide stretch of ocean. Consequently, climate experts no longer refer to El Nino alone but speak of the El Nino Southern Oscillation. Rather like a pendulum, the ENSO cycle swings between an El Nino state and its opposite, a cold-water state...
...deal drugs: give a client a first batch free and make them feel welcome to more, at a price. Cunanan had an astonishing range of knowledge: of the way the U.S. military command is structured--and of the hierarchy of chimpanzees. Zeeland recalls that Cunanan would jokingly refer to his friend Trail, in the lingo of chimp studies, as an "alpha male," adding that subordinate chimps paid homage to alpha males by displaying their genitals.

These middle paragraphs can be many or few, but they must be evenly numbered, and they must not confuse...

"I'm sure the hospital has lost a lot of money on many of my patients, but they've never told me about it," he says. Dunn contends it is more willing to refer patients to expensive specialists. Dr. Theresa Travis, a Dunn nephrologist who spends about 20% of her time at Bedford Regional, says she often sees patients with traditional insurance months ahead of HMO patients with similar conditions. "Managed-care patients are always referred very late," she says, in some cases making...
