...participate in the travel groups take summer jobs in some area of public service, and if their salaries are in any way inadequate, the school will supplement them. Perhaps the most astonishing example of how the Woodrow Wilson School treats money is its pre-paid interview system.

Illegally, they pack 300,000 "loose" or unlicensed weapons, ranging from zip guns to submachine guns and antiaircraft cannon.
