...long, however, before a stream of international aid began to supplement the Turkish efforts. A fleet of 25 U.S. military cargo planes ferried tents, blankets, stoves and fuel from Europe. Iran, West Germany, Italy and other nations added similar supplies, plus medicine and blood plasma. Saudi Arabia pledged $5 million to the relief effort. The Turkish government announced that survivors who wished to move would be settled outside the quake area, in schools and student hostels. Due to the frozen ground in eastern Turkey, reconstruction of the shattered homes is unlikely to start before spring...
Between 1912 and 1922, Virginia Woolf wrote two novels, Night and Day and Jacob's Room, which secured her reputation, and revised a third, The Voyage Out. Almost weekly she reviewed for the Times Literary Supplement, composing superb little essays.

In an effort to supplement the grant, Black CAST has raised additional funds through social events and donations. Yet it cannot be overemphasized that these resources will not go far until the importance of such endeavors is recognized by the Harvard community at large. If there truly is a commitment to the theater here, especially Black...
...Crimson's Election Day supplement contends that John Stuart Mill presented the philosophical justification of libertarianism. This is incorrect. Even Mill's most ardent defenses of freedom clearly rest in utilitatian concerns, whereas the doctrines of the Libertarion party insist on liberty because of a belief in individual rights. The distinction is significant since it produces a substantial difference both in the definition of liberty and in the nature and degree of the commitment...
