The Dog-Eat-Dog World of Model U.N.

By ANJLI PARRIN

The Model United Nations is a full-fledged sport with rankings and rowdiness, but some object to the trend.

 The appeals for the party to respect the constitution’s provisions are 
part of what appears to be a new tactic by Chinese liberals to push for 
faster political change. On November 16th, a day after the party’s new 
leadership was installed, Yanhuang Chunqiu and academics from 
Peking University jointly organised a meeting in Beijing of around 100 
intellectuals as well as a sprinkling of retired officials to discuss 
the constitution and the importance of upholding it 
(see this account on Yanhuang Chunqiu’s website, 
 
 What do you think of the so-called "student  revolution
"? 

    Rowdies  are  never  revolutionary,  they are always reac'
tionary. It is among the young that  the  greatest  conformists
and  Philistines  are found, e.g., the hippies with their group
beards  and   group   protests.   Demonstrators   at   American
universities  care  as  little about education as football fans
who smash up subway stations in England care about soccer.  All
belong to the same family of goofy hoodlums-- with a sprinkling
of clever rogues among them.

From there the roster of notorious clients grew. There were the union militants Eugene Debs, Big Bill Haywood and John J. McNamara; a sprinkling of Communists and anarchists; a handful of corrupt politicians; some homicidal socialites; a host of mobsters; one world-famous architect; and a few people accused of truly heinous crimes: charming young Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, who had killed a child just to see if they could get away with it.

請問Osaka's new subway line found springing【似乎是sprinkling】 leaks

The Yomiuri Shimbun

All 11 stations on the Osaka municipal subway's Imazatosuji Line, which opened in December, have water leaks in about 60 locations in total, according to the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau.

The bureau said the problem is due to the line being the deepest of the eight municipal subway lines, resulting in higher groundwater pressure. Although the problem has not affected operations, the bureau has yet to find suitable solutions
