Though Roosevelt's Justice Department went on to bring 44 more antitrust suits in the course of his presidency, he never attacked any other of Morgan's interests. He even used Morgan as a mediator to help settle a Pennsylvania miners' strike that threatened to create a winter scarcity of coal for heating. And when he ran for President in 1904, Roosevelt was not above accepting campaign contributions from the very businesses he was pressuring, though he was so careful not to show them any favor in his second term that Henry C.

...President said. "And if we fail in Iraq, it's going to embolden al-Qaeda types." Rove helpfully added in a New Hampshire speech that al-Zarqawi wouldn't have been nailed if we had pulled out of Iraq, as Representative John Murtha, a Pennsylvania Democrat, recommended last winter...
...consideration was Detroit's harsh winters. Although elephants can tolerate cold weather, standing on snow and ice increases the risk of slipping and falling. The only alternative was to have the animals spend most of the winter months indoors, where hard concrete led to foot problems and boredom.

The average salary of a dining hall employee is $31,000, according to a University press...

The past year has shown once more that the University can use the resource of its great past in two ways—to uphold the values that should always exist here, or to nourish the forces of reaction and conservatism that have sometimes triumphed. In the early winter, when President Bok decided that Harvard would not enter as a commercial competitor in the booming field of genetic engineering, he appealed to some time-honored precepts. Learning should be an end in itself, not a way to earn vast fortunes. Teachers should be teaching, searching, thinking, and not competing...
