...high, were recently shipped to the department's Delaware, Ohio, research station, where they will be raised until they flower and then mated with American elms.

Medicaid is suffering from all kinds of inflammatory ills, plus massive financial hemorrhaging, and is headed for drastic surgery before Congress quits for Christmas.

With an accelerated production schedule-only 20 months from programming to production v. the usual 30 months-Ford could not tolerate errors. To avoid them, Beckett filled a 400-page "Red Book" with each of the car's 10,000 parts listed according to projected weight...
