...among the 75 freshmen (54% of the veterans v. 49% of the freshmen were dissatisfied). But the senior members have tended to support the leadership in public, while the first-termers have voiced their complaints and even talked of trying to dump Albert as Speaker-a move that would doubtless fail...

But last year, according to Government estimates, 800,000 to 1.5 million slipped back into poverty because of the combination of recession and inflation.

The other great source of its near mythic fascination is that despite ever-growing attention by marine scientists, there is precious little reliable information about sharks. It is not even known how many varieties of sharks there are (best estimate: around 300) or how many...
