...opposition is intense. The European Parliament, for example, has recommended that its member countries prohibit the sale of meat or milk from BST-treated cows, and two provinces in Canada have temporarily halted the distribution of such products.

According to this report, I called the Crimson on the night before the Undergraduate Council reconsidered the issue of ROTC, unsure as to whether I should reverse my vote of the previous week. I asked, supposedly, for poll results, on the basis of which I would determine my vote, but was denied them and so retained my initial position. What actually happened, however, was quite different.
