Although no school seems to be immune from the smallest of violations--an official visit past the allowed 48 hours because of weather conditions at the airport, for example--Orleans said infractions of Ivy League policy on the level of Brown's offenses are infrequent...
Least known are the smallest organisms. By repeated sampling, biologists estimate that as few as 10% of the different kinds of insects, nematode worms and fungi have been discovered. For bacteria and other microorganisms, the number could be well below 1%. Even the largest and most intensively studied organisms are incompletely cataloged. Four species of mammals, for example, have recently been discovered in the remote Annamite Mountains along the Vietnam-Laos border. One of them, the saola or spindlehorn, is a large cowlike animal distinct enough to be classified in a genus of its own. Earth, as far as life...
...smallest children, a little white boy and a little black boy, used to share the desk at the front of Yamilin Morales' first-grade class in Cardenas, Cuba.

When the crowd did start jumping for "Excuse Me Mister", the bouncers helped numerous smaller girls exit the sweaty madness, a series of altruistic actions that were first in my concert history.

No Doubt rocked, but the crowd hardly moved...
...Jarrett may be one of the smallest warships in the Navy fleet, but it packs a wallop. It carries 1,100-lb. Standard missiles, which are capable of blasting enemy aircraft out of the sky 20 miles away. And its Harpoon missiles, weighing nearly 1,400 lbs., can sink an enemy ship more than 60 miles away. The Jarrett has a pair of SH-60 Seahawk helicopters on its fantail, poised for search and rescue, antisubmarine warfare, supply runs and special operations. The ship also boasts a 3-in. gun, torpedoes and antiaircraft weapons...
