...Thrust into something they had never imagined would be part of their working lives, they told themselves the call might be a hoax. But they telephoned police. That decision was right. Almost everything that followed went tragically wrong. WHMA got its story, one of the more horrifying minutes of video footage ever recorded. The nation, and especially its journalists, got a troubling case study that prompted an overdue debate about whether some stories are worth getting...
...these reforms, Anderson said. "It would take a new party to provide the basic and central thrust...
...claim that the Phalangists bear "sole responsibility" for the Beirut massacres. Mr. Marks appears to have utterly missed the thrust of my argument when he quotes the inquiry report to support the above proposition. To reiterate the argument for his and others benefit: the factual findings of the commission of inquiry clearly substantiate that the Israelis provided extensive logistical support to the Phalangists. Reading the full record, one is left with the distinct impression that the Israeli military all but pulled the triggers, and swings the axes, which caused the deaths of over 1000 Palestinian and Lebunese civilians...
When Virginia Woolf opened in 1962, it put the theatrical community into a uproar. Assist partisans jumped to thrust Albee into the Arthur Mailer Eugene O'Neill Tennessee Williams axis of great American playwrights its detractors lambasted it with a passion that could only indicate that Albee had indeed hit a few raw nerves. One noted drama critic addressed the popular view that the play could not be ignored saving. That's right, there is no way that we can ignore danger and disease. But it is not right therefore to welcome the plague into our midst...
Ironically, the defect stems, at least in part, from NASA'S own supercaution. To improve performance, Challenger's engines were built to operate at 9% greater thrust than those of the first orbiter, Columbia, when the throttle is fully opened. Realizing that this extra power would vibrate the spacecraft more violently, NASA engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center made a design change. They ordered reinforcement of the metal piping that carries hot, gaseous hydrogen fuel into the small chamber where the engines are first fired up and begin revving to their full 480,000 lbs. of thrust...
