...itself? That’s the worry of sporting fans across the five boroughs. Subway Series, Bubway Series. Will the Lions, after winning their first two games for the second straight year, suffer another debilitating eight-game slide to close it out? Or can Big Man Wilson right the ship...
Even colleges with significantly more restrictive study-abroad policies manage to ship off far higher numbers of students. The University of Pennsylvania, for example, requires its study-abroad students to fork over to its institution’s coffers the difference in cash they would otherwise be saving by studying at international universities, which are usually cheaper.

...Leadership aides expressed relief that members were, at least initially, staying loyal. "The ship didn't go down," one congressional aide said.

So you may take it as gossip gospel that Princess Margaret made the ungenerous observation quoted in the film that Diana was even "more irritating dead than alive." Morton also did a lot of asking around, and people answered...
