Despite these advances and the most recent gains in University relations, PBHA members say they are worried about what effect the year's tumult will have on the organization's ability to launch a major fundraising drive for its 100th anniversary in the year 2000 as it attempts to make itself financially independent...
...National Front party's surprising 15 percent returns in last Sunday's first round of elections, fiery right-winger Jean-Marie Le Pen found himself instead in a slugfest with some 30 hecklers in the crime-plagued Paris suburb of Mantes-La-Jolie. In the tumult, Le Pen wound up striking one youth who had shoved him and lunging after others in the jeering, egg-hurling crowd.

Who needs to plow through an imaginative verbal construct when the content is available in more accessible forms...
...communications, because it had the misfortune of having accepted me, because I wouldn't mind sending my own daughters there and because the forces that drove up Penn's costs are fundamentally the same as those at every other major university. My journey--taken at a time of great tumult in higher education, with many schools at last responding to pressure to slow tuition growth--led me to a discovery: real-cost increases do explain some of the run-up in tuition over the past 20 years...
