...lopsided majority in Northern Ireland's House of Commons, but at least twelve of the 36 official Unionist M.P.s are steadfastly against O'Neill, and his efforts to replace a substantial number of them with his own supporters failed completely. Nor did O'Neill succeed in attracting a significant share of the votes of Northern Ireland's Catholic minority. Fed up with the ineffectiveness of their own Nationalist Party, some Catholics turned instead to the new People's Democracy Party, which has taken on the job of battling for civil rights.

...they are not always effective; they can stumble as easily as they succeed. Harry Figge's "Automatic" Sprinkler Corp. went into a nosedive last year when strikes and production snags crippled two divisions, while a third ran into cost-control woes.

The court has specifically stated that "social policy" is not one of the CAB's responsibilities. Enforcement of the existing statute...
...students were explored, discovered that this lack of feedback was a major cause of student frustration. "This initial fear of failure was intensified as the semester progressed because the first year student was unable to get feedback. . . . This intensified fear of failure interfered with the student's ability to succeed. It caused the student to rely on false feedback, encouraged ineffective study, inhibited informal education available by contacts with student colleagues and professors, and most importantly, interfered with actual academic success...
