...this information could be harmful, and we're really not convinced of that. Like with all new things that come out, we don't always know exactly what the implications are going to be. When the car first came out, for example, it didn't have air bags or seat belts or headrests and all the protections that were built into cars ultimately to make them safer to drive...
...looking like an American.'' (He's actually Canadian.) Guards are also important: several gunmen protecting Andrew fired back when his truck was ambushed in the Bakhara market earlier this year, enabling him to make a quick getaway. Andrew rides around Mogadishu in an old Toyota Land Cruiser with goatskin seat covers, Armed Forces Radio booming from the speakers, but that doesn't provide much relaxation.

The state giveth the license, and only the state can taketh it away. Robert C. Coe, M.D., Chairman Medical Disciplinary Board State of Washington Seattle Though the medical profession may have been derelict in its housekeeping duties...
...glaciers and steaming volcanoes that are marvels. The tiny single-engine floatplanes and ski-planes themselves, the delivery vans and taxis of the roadless north, are just as scary and exotic. They seem as unsubstantial as bicycles, all wires and struts. Wedge yourself into the right-hand front seat next to the pilot, and you may discover that you have a fully operable wheel in your lap and control pedals underfoot. You don't get pedals on the Eastern shuttle. The tourist is much intrigued. Could I learn to fly one of these contraptions? This line of thinking is scarier...
