...other side, the videotapes the FBI took of Myers' sessions with the phony Arab businessmen should take its toll. The voters have never before been able to observe their congressman in the act of sealing a corrupt deal and the visceral impact should be far more damaging that the second hand accounts from hearings of politicians charged with scandal in the past...
Buckley seemed a touch tentative in the first half despite his impressive stats, 8 for 12 for 79 yards. He moved cautiously behind the line and didn't try to go long, evidence that the three weeks off with a knee injury had taken its toll. So coach Joe Restic decided to shift the burden to Connors, who carried the ball ten times for 29 yards, a less impressive pace than at Princeton, where he collected 86 yards.

The initial estimate of 25,000 deaths was later reduced by more than half. Still, with the toll already at 6,000, the El Asnam quake was far worse than the previous one that had destroyed the city...
