...Iraq in 1991, he hadn't changed his views, and he wasn't going to apologize for them, despite the fact he was already running behind in the polls back home. And yet, a funny thing happened. In the week after the vote, his numbers improved. He took a slight lead over Republican Norm Coleman. Even Minnesotans who didn't agree with Wellstone's stance on Iraq were proud to have a senator who voted for what he believed...
...there’s not much of a choice because this is, after all, the army,” and the teams had no categories to choose from except army-related tactics. Correct answers elicit a “boo-ya” from the instructor, and after a slight chiding for unpreparedness, he ends class with a few minutes to spare.

There was, however, some slight jumbling of words and one can forgive such blunders in light of the fact that van Dam performed the 75-minute work without break and from memory.

While the Harvard police station used to be located on Garden Street, the building went under construction last year. Now no police units are currently positioned along the way. When I asked a HUPD officer when the reconstruction was expected to be completed, he gave a slight chuckle and sarcastically asked me when I was graduating. This renovation not only removed the reassuring presence of the police, but one of the path’s few emergency lights as well. In the past, if a student ever found him or herself in a threatening situation, this emergency light functioned...
