...ensue. Slothrop stumbles on a still-surviving elite Nazi rocket corps made up of black Hereros from South Africa who have set out to find and fire the last great German rocket prototype, the Schwarzgerat 00000. He then uncovers evidence of a worldwide conspiracy between General Electric, the Krupps, Shell Oil, I.G. Farben, FDR, the Russians and countless others, to fabricate World War II as an excuse to provide funding for their several special interests. Last and worst, Slothrop learns that his own father, Borderick Slothrop, long ago signed over his son's life to that Conspiracy, so Tyrone...
...Prince, professor of Social Ethics, and Henry Murray '15, professor emeritus of Psychology, then a young physician, set up the Harvard Student Clinic on Plympton Street.

This technology is so expensive that capital costs of drilling average 20 times higher than those encountered on land in the Middle East. Still, savings on transportation costs and taxes will enable oil companies to earn an estimated...

The exact margin is uncertain as the Navy shell was forced to way-enough about 300 meters from the finish when seven-man Tom Purday caught a crab squarely in the rib cage and was neatly plucked from his seat and deposited in the Severn...
...fours competition was equally impressive. Radcliffe stormed out of the start, and a shell-shocked Williams boat never really recovered. Radcliffe never settled, stroking the first 500 meters at a 38-plus pace. At 250 yards the 'Cliffe had a length lead, at 500 almost two and the margin had ballooned to over four lengths by the finish...
