There have been times, to be sure, when the U.S. majority has pilloried minority dissenters-to say nothing of abolitionists, suffragettes, Indians, Mormons, Irish Catholics, Chinese and Negroes. The U.S. was founded by fervent believers in free expression-who almost immediately ignored their own First Amendment. In 1798, Congress enacted the Alien and Sedition Acts empowering the Federalists to ruthlessly prosecute Republican editors for, among other things, criticizing the Government's undeclared naval war with France. Lincoln did not even consult Congress in 1861, when he suspended the right of habeas corpus for anyone his Government deemed disloyal. During...
Western experts are reasonably sure that Soyuz 1, designed to re-enter the atmosphere and descend at a controlled attitude, had only one surface protected by a heat shield against the high temperatures of reentry. If Soyuz was indeed tumbling upon reentry, as many U.S. experts believe, its unshielded surfaces would also have been exposed to the direct frictional effects of the atmosphere. As these surfaces began to burn up, temperatures in the spacecraft cabin would quickly have reached fatal levels...
...first thing a regent learns, says former Minnesota Regent Robert Hess, an ex-labor-union official, is that a university "sure as hell isn't run like a corporation-university people simply aren't yes men."

In the final moments, Hepburn and Finney, reconciled, look lovingly at each other in the car. He sighs, "Bitch." She snaps, "Bastard...
...Instead, the wealth of food is spread out through blocks of small shops. Bakeries are a jumble of fresh pizza, sesame seed rolls, zeppelin shaped loaves. Fruit and vegetables come live and kicking from baskets and boxes. You want meat? Then go next door to the butcher. There's sure to be one. Outside his store freshly slaughtered lambs and rabbits (still with head and fur) hang from red hooks, and well preserved pig heads leer through the front window. Inside Al or Louie or Joe is cutting government choice to your order...
