...high derrick that Occidental plans to build will bear little resemblance to 17 other rigs in Los Angeles. Replete with white stucco and red Mexican tile, it will be disguised as a Spanish bell tower. Still, opponents are circulating petitions for a ballot initiative to prohibit drilling within 1,000 feet of the coast...
...holes you could drive Beth's station wagon through. (How does Alex get Ellen out of school? Why didn't the family dog bark when Alex breaks into the Gallagher house? Why can't Dan hear the final struggle a floor above him, and why does the bathroom tile floor leak water?)

The university started in 1866 as the Stellenbosch Gymnasium, or high school. Today its low-slung buildings, white with red tile roofs, are thickly shaded by ancient oaks and framed by cerise bougainvillea. Even the trees are considered national monuments.
