Biological weapons can employ a deadly array of organisms and naturally occurring toxins. Packaged inside small bombs and delivered by aircraft or artillery shells, the germs would be released in a mist of infectious droplets that victims would inhale. A tiny amount would go a long way. Less than 1 g (0.035 oz.) of a bacterium called tularemia could produce thousands of deadly doses. U.S. officials insist that soldiers can be protected from such an attack with gas masks and nonpermeable clothing. But the gear cannot be worn indefinitely, especially in the desert's searing heat, and strains resistant...
...variety of "tips" are employed during our admissions process to insure fair treatment for Asian Americans. In addition to the fact that a "tip" can provide a positive reason to admit a candidate, we also refer to a "tip" for candidates who, for a wide variety of reasons, are given special consideration in the admissions process. That special consideration may take the form of recruitment, through, for examples, the use of direct mail to encourage Asian-American students to apply, travel by Asian-American undergraduates to make presentations at high schools where there are large numbers of prospective Asian-American...

A free-trade agreement would encourage more foreign investment, thus providing additional jobs...
Senate Republican leader Bob Dole has two builders of small aircraft, Cessna and Beech, in his state of Kansas. They employ 12,300 people and contribute more than $1 billion to the state's economy. Thus when a 10% tax on the purchase of all small planes was proposed, Dole took off. He got the surcharge limited to those costing more than $250,000, which exempts virtually all of the ones built in his state. Dole has received at least $4,250 from the two manufacturers. Dole also got special treatment for an old friend -- Dwayne Andreas, president...
