...distinction. It all began with the none-too-uncommon catalyst: second semester freshman year, the last hourlies before exam period, a semester already marred by negligence and procrastination, and four really rough courses. Then to add wood to the fire we've got the snoring roommate on the upper bunk. Sure, amidst anxiety-ridden times and uncontrollable circumstances, we are all afflicted with the inability to fall asleep for awhile. Or even, on rate occasions, for an entire night. But for two full weeks...
...Arab job ceiling of 20%. That way, Koenig argued, economic insecurity would keep Arab minds off "thoughts of a so-called cultural-nationalistic nature." Koenig insisted that "the nature of the Levantine character is superficial, does not probe in depth, and has an imagination that gains the upper hand over national thinking." Complained Nazareth's Communist Mayor Tawfiq Zayad: "Many of Koenig's recommendations are already official policy.

I was into the works: Billion dollar scoreboard, clapping hands, ear-piercing organ, Mexican hat dance, Hava Negila, Da, Da, Da Dump Pa Da; Charge...
...almost no potential for danger, there are experts in the field, most notably Robert Sinsheimer, chairman of the Biology Department at Cal Tech, who believe that biodisasters could occur. In an interview in Science Magazine Sinsheimer cites the possibility that, by endowing lower organisms with the DNA of upper organisms, a "sort of betrayal of state secrets at the molecular level may occur." These new organisms may be endowed with dangerous, possibly lethal characteristics that scientists may not be able to combat...
