...dolphins in the Hyatt program are juveniles, but adult male dolphins can be rough with humans and even sexually aggressive with women, whom they can easily distinguish from men. William Evans, a former head of NMFS, worries about the risk of injury to people from the 200-kg (about 450-lb.) fast-moving mammals as they become accustomed to people. "Familiarity breeds contempt," says Evans. "I've been slammed and bammed a bit, and I know of a few trainers hurt badly enough to put them in the hospital." If dolphin swim programs avoid such potential hazards by relying...
...year-old man barged in, shooting at random, killed two pupils and wounded nine other people. To her, the new door locks and limited access to the building are not guarantees against future incidents, but they serve to instill confidence in teachers, pupils and parents. "It has been a rough road," she admits, but "we're going to get better, not bitter...
...Unhappily denied such attentions, The People is a rough draft of the novel it might have become.

More than 100 journalists, most of them government employees, have since signed a petition calling for the release of the pair and for the immediate legalization of the newspaper. Now the government is hounding...
...dining halls besides the Union Even in Adams and Quincy--which try hard to hide their reuseable cups--have mugs or glasses that you can use. Bring your own mug for take-out coffee--it's nicer than paper anyway. Save old handouts and notices and write your rough-drafts of papers, problem sets or letters on the back of them, instead if using fresh paper. Take lecture notes on both sides of each sheet of paper in notebooks or yellow pads. Use handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues--they are cheaper; they don't break; they absorb well and they...
