...ideal urban setting for the great stone wall. One reason the movie of All the President's Men was so scary was that it captured the crumminess behind the wall, not unlike the Watergate burglary itself. Think of that splendid moment when a TV screen showed Nixon being sworn in for his, hmm, second term while the Woodstein typewriter clacked at his door...
...party forced Videnov to resign the prime ministership last November, and to replace him the Socialists have designated the unpopular Nikolai Dobrev, the hard-line Interior Minister.

Yet the disadvantages outweigh these admitted advantages. No matter how much student members were sworn to secrecy about sensitive issues such as rape or academic dishonesty, there is a good chance that some details would get out to roommates or friends and thus to the student body as a whole, needlessly embarrassing the people involved...
