...think they should be more considerate to those of us who need [B-29] for our concentration," said MBB concentrator Aerlyn Dawn '98. "Its frustrating that people are getting in over us who are taking it because they think it's a gut and won't even show up to lectures...
...highest tax brackets, that has given Detroit a jolt of renewed self-esteem and left foreign manufacturers struggling in the dust. Even looking backward, it is not clear why. Maybe the baby boomers, grown thick in the waist, were bored with being sensible. Without any question--the brief dawn a few years ago of the tiny, puppyish Miata sports convertible aside--cars had grown tedious and indistinguishable.

...computer operating systems: Microsoft's Windows 95, Apple's Macintosh and various flavors of Unix. Java carves out what Sun calls a "virtual Java machine" within the software of each of these computer systems, thus getting around an irksome problem that has bedeviled programmers and users since the dawn of the computer age: incompatibility.

...they had common interests. The U.S. negotiators and their colleagues from Britain, France, Germany and Russia tended to use very forceful persuasion. Some of the Balkan officials suspected the U.S. was using sleep-deprivation as a negotiating tool. Deadlines slipped repeatedly, and late-night meetings turned into desperate pre-dawn sessions seeking to put issues back on track and, finally, to seal the overall agreement. Tempers were frazzled, sensibilities were hurt and resentments flared. Holbrooke, who is credited with being the locomotive of the talks, operated with gradations of anger.
