However, until there is agreement on limiting a much wider array of armaments, the U.S. is not likely to give up its seabed monitoring gear...
...door, four-passenger car is designed to beat back the invasion of imports. The Maverick is much lower and wider than the Volkswagen, which Ford executives call "the target car." It is also a bit thirstier-Ford claims about 22 miles per gallon v. the VW's 25 m.p.g. -and nearly two feet longer, measuring 179 in. from its broad nose to its short tail.

Not is the proposal for abolishing grades as relevant to a science grad student...
John Hanify '71, a member of the HUC, called the proposal "completely out of the context of the current discussion." Hanify said, "The HUC, HPC, RUS, and SFAC are now discussing the issue of student representation in a much wider perspective. Particular proposals simply distort the issue...
