In April, the Council unanimously voted to spin off its campus-wide programming duties to the newly formed College Events Board (CEB), and a week later, the College announced that it would fund the new board with $200,000 for the next academic year. With elected representatives dedicated solely to social programming and a close relationship with the College...
...growing satisfaction with my experience is based on the lasting image of the school that I am now constructing out of my most poignant and meaningful memories here. It’s the conversations I’ve had, the network I’ll continue to spin that is so remarkable.

Already there are spin-offs. A book with the same title has been published. The money Gore makes from the film will go toward a bipartisan media and grassroots education campaign whose participants include Brent Scowcroft, National Security Adviser to the first President Bush.

Geremia lends the family more money than they can afford to pay and then, on the wedding day, extracts from Rosalba his own predatory pound-of-flesh interest on the loan...
...always evident that the Gulf of Mexico was a sweet spot for cyclones, but it took modern meteorology to explain just why. You need a lot of things to get a hurricane going, most important among them an existing storm with a bit of spin to it wedged between warm ocean water and a colder band of air above it. Locate all that at least 300 miles north or south of the equator--where the rotation of the Earth's slightly narrower circumference exacerbates the spin of the storm--and you have everything you need to sustain a hurricane...
