[00:01]drain
[00:02]The prison work has also been a serious drain on CIA
[00:05]resources. In Thursday's announcement, CIA Director
[00:09]Leon Panetta said that in closing the prisons, the agency
[00:13]would save $4 million per year on contractors.
[00:18]refrain
[00:20]Mr. McCartney, who has long advocated vegetarianism,
[00:24]urged European legislators to support policies like
[00:28]encouraging citizens to refrain from eating meat for one
[00:32]day a week…
[00:34]vain
[00:36]It kept a pregnant Yukos lawyer and the firm's fatally
[00:39]ill manager in prison in a vain effort to make them testify
[00:44]against their old boss, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who is now
[00:48]on trial once more.
[00:51]stain
[00:53]The 409-page Mitchell Report, which was concluded
[00:57]in 2007, named 89 MLB players in all, including Roger
[01:04]Clemens and Barry Bonds, putting a stain on the sport.
[01:10]grin
[01:11]Millions of Latin Americans last week saw the
[01:14]President of the U.S., arms flung wide in greeting, flower
[01:19]petals stuck to his pink and sweating scalp, a delighted
[01:23]grin on his face, as he rode down stately boulevards…
[01:29]grind
[01:31]Working alone or with one or two employees, renting
[01:35]their workshops, little masters mostly specialized in one
[01:40]aspect of their trade - forging, or grinding, or finishing
[01:45]- and often in one type of product: razors, scissors,
[01:49]surgical instruments.
[01:52]groan
[01:53]Meantime with many a snort & groan, millions of U. S.
[01:57]citizens filled out pink slips noting the highlights of their
[02:01]incomes and tax payments, filed them along with their
[02:05]income tax returns.
