...contract killing of U.S. journalist Paul Klebnikov; in Moscow. Klebnikov, the chief editor of Forbes' Russian edition, was shot dead as he left his Moscow office in July 2004.

Furthermore, a system of high school majors also mischaracterizes the central purpose of a concentration, which is to provide a deep and sophisticated understanding of a subject.

After getting his degree, Malkani spent years trying to turn his dissertation into a nonfiction book. "But my job made it tough, and every time I started to work on the book, it all seemed...
...bill, two-thirds of the Council would be required to pass any bylaw amendment rather than the current threshold of a simple majority. Oddly enough, UC Representative Matthew R. Greenfield ’08 found himself in both camps—sponsoring both 62.35 and the amendment to subject bylaw changes to two-thirds votes. This apparent contradiction made sense to Greenfield, however, because he believed that 62.35 would pass before the bylaw legislation. Unfortunately for him, the former did not.After the docket order had been changed, Greenfield amended his amendment so that all mention of the bylaws requirements...
