...means of spies, subsidies and the executioner's ax, decapitating more than a thousand enemies. He was a man of enormous appetite: he would do away with an entire roast lamb at a single sitting and then gulp down a pound of honey as a between-meals snack. He had three wives and 40 concubines, but in the last years of his life his potency declined, and he had unsuccessful recourse to rejuvenation treatments by a Swiss doctor. His luckless harem consoled itself with sorties into lesbianism and erotic gadgets sent from Japan. Like many Yemenites, Ahmad chewed...
...should never be said that all monopolies are bad per se. Agencies to sell beer mugs, banners, and class rings are natural monopolies concessions, into the proper province of HSA. But the late-evening snack is decidedly sinister. By a pre-HSA ruling of the Committee on Solicitations no delivery men or solicitors are permitted in the Yard or the Houses after dark.

New York University's ten-story, $5,000,000 center offers diners a view of Washington Square; Tulane's $3,000,000 "living room" has an Olympic-sized swimming pool with poolside snack service...
...frankness set by the Right Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes Jr., Episcopal Bishop of Boston, who suggests that his priests say: "God forgive the graft that went into this building." Despite the Supreme Court decision, many schools opened this fall with some form of prayer. In San Francisco, the midmorning snack for kindergarten, first-and second-grade children is invariably preceded by a bouncy hymnlet that teach ers have dubbed "The Graham Cracker Song": We thank thee, God, for food we eat, For family and friends we meet, For books we read and songs we sing; We thank thee...
