...whole, cops in the 77th had become demoralized and cynical following the 1991 Rodney King beating and the 1999 police-corruption scandal in the Rampart district. Many admit they had adopted a "drive and wave" style of policing, in which they rarely got out of their car unless an actual crime had been committed...
...movies hardly knew it. Australia, where she moved from England when she was 14, exported half its acting population to Hollywood (including Watts' buddy Nicole Kidman), while she was left to play in Aussie soaps. Moving to California in the mid-'90s didn't land Watts starring roles, unless you count Children of the Corn IV and some TV shows.

...bigger problem would be how to ensure that J-Term classes were of the same standards as term-time classes, and not regarded as a joke, as has been the case at other schools who have the 4-1-4 schedule.

The only way to beat their system is to cheat.) In the humanities and social sciences, it is well to remember, there is a man (occasionally a woman), a human type filling out your picture postcard. What does he want to read...
...unwarranted assumption comes off better than the equivocator. He would deal with our question on Hume not by baffling the grader or by fencing him but like this: “It is absurd to discuss whether Hume is representative of the age in which he lived unless we note the progress of that age on all fronts. After all, Hume did not live in a vacuum...
