...Arias' victory, Samudio cried "fraud" and accused the National Guard of installing Arias as President. A few hours later, the government-dominated Electoral Tribunal, which oversees the Election Board and is theoretically superior to it, declared the board's vote count invalid. To make its action stick, however, the tribunal would have to get the support of the National Guard; and Panama's military seemed in no mood to let the politicians fight the election all over again...
...campus through credentials check. Shouting and sounds of riot draw us around the corner of 110th St. A dozen students standing in front of a small white-pillared building are shouting up at a 15-story Columbia dormitory, Carmen Hall. About half hold beer cans. Student heads stick out from every third window in Carmen and yell back. I am told that those on the ground are Jocks from "Beta" (the Jock fraternity).

If he did, he was guilty of recklessness and malice, and, as a result, libel. Ginzburg may yet persuade an appeals court that he was neither reckless nor malicious...
...humans were swept away in the resulting floods. Roads and bridges crumbled, and vehicles were trapped in a deepening ooze. But through most of the downpour, some 1,200 African tribesmen and Italian workers doggedly continued to lay down six miles of pipeline a day. If they manage to stick to their schedule, "the Great Snake," as the natives call the $45 million project, will be completed in June. Stretching 1,058 miles across mountains and marshes, through thick jungle and dusty scrubland, the line will carry gasoline, kerosene and diesel oil from the port of Dar es Salaam...
