And there is love and laughter and growing flowers and hot clams and a gourmet cheese omelet and square dancing, and she doesn’t want to .....

But many students don't like these uniforms. They want to decide for themselves how to dress. During the last years it has become more usual for parents to divorce.

.... and discouraging aspects I have heard about in classes and in the media. I am not sure that I could be happy in a career such as this, and I know there are great difficulties in "making it" in this profession.

.... right to vote was not secured until after her death. Susan B. Anthony taught school in New Rochelle and Canajoharie, NY, and discovered that male teachers were paid several times her salary. She devoted her first reform efforts to anti-slavery and to temperance. However, when she rose to speak in a temperance convention, she was told, “The sisters were not invited here to speak!” Anthony promptly enlisted in the cause of women's rights. In a lifelong partnership with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Anthony's organizational skill and selfless dedication built the women's rights move .....

.... in Japanese made cars for many years. American cars have been slower to move from gas-guzzlers to more efficient engines. The most important difference is performance. Japanese cars were the first to offer multi-valve engines, which have only recently come available in American models. Multi-valve engines allow for greater power while maintaining a higher fuel economy. There are other technologies concerning performance indigenous to specific Japanese automakers. Honda offers a V-Tech engine that incorporates a computer to open and close engine valves dramatically increasing .....
