McNamara said that he hopes to meet with officials from the University and the Massachusetts institute of technology in the near future to discuss plans for expansion of the two institutions and to arrive at an agreement. The mayor claimed that slum areas often surround a collage area because no one knows where the collage will build next. McNamara indicated that in a meeting with University officials, he had sought an understanding of exactly where and how it plans to expand. The offer to buy the MTA land "brought the issue to a head," McNamara said...
...pond's smooth surface. An object becalmed in its emptiness floats like a galleon in the doldrums. If the object is a spaceship with propulsive power, it can cruise in any direction, meeting practically no resistance.

If it plunges into one of them, it may end as a puff of gas in a star or a brief streak of fire in a planet's atmosphere...
...points out that the department initiated last year modern methods in the elementary French courses: French R and French A.

Last Killing. Last week's sale, accomplished under Britain's good offices, came as no surprise to the freewheeling middlemen of Gwadar. In anticipation that Pakistan's customs restrictions would soon surround them, the smugglers had changed their occupation to just plain importers, stuffed their mud-walled warehouses and piled the beachfronts with great dumps of cosmetics, transistor radios, automobile parts, nylons and U.S. cigarettes. The Pakistanis, too pleased at plugging the hole to begrudge Gwadar its last killing, ran up their green and white flag and announced that they hope to develop the place...
