Strange Texts

INTRODUCTION: URGENT! On July 5, 1987 the front page of the Miami Herald Newspaper carried a now famous article describing secret White House plans to: A.) DECLARE AN UNDEFINED "NATIONAL EMERGENCY," B.) RE-OPEN CONCENTRATION CAMPS FOR PREVENTIVE DETENTION OF LEGAL DISSIDENTS CERTAIN ETHNIC GROUPS, AND C.) SUSPEND OUR UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION ---***--- Those of us viewing the Iran-Contragate hearings, then being broadcast live on TV, had our curiousity peaked when one committee member began inquiring about an article alleging secret White House plans to suspend the Constitution. We were even more puzzled when committee chair Daniel Inouye interrupted him demanding all discussion on that question

                                                                                THE MONROE DOCTRINE: The Monroe Doctrine was expressed during President Monroe's seventh annual message to Congress, December 2, 1823: . . . At the proposal of the Russian Imperial Government, made through the minister of the Emperor residing here, a full power and instructions have been transmitted to the minister of the United States at St. Petersburg to arrange by amicable negotiation the respective rights and interests of the two nations on the northwest coast of this continent. A similar proposal has been made by His Imperial Majesty to the Government of Great Britain, which has likewise been acceded to. The Government of the United States has been desirous by this friendly proceeding of manifesting the great value which they have invariably attached to the friendship of the Emperor and their solicitude to cultivate the best understanding with his Government.

NOTES ON THE LZRW2 ALGORITHM ============================ Author : Ross Williams. Date   : 29-Jun-1991. Abstract -------- This file announces the release of my LZRW2 algorithm which was invented on 25-Nov-1990. The LZRW2 is a descendant of the LZRW1-A algorithm. LZRW2 runs a little more slowly and uses a little more memory than LZRW1-A but yields better compression and is deterministic. LZRW2 is not patented and is of the LZ77 class and so is unlikely to be subject to a patent challenge. The exact figures for the Calgary corpus on C implementations on my Macintosh are (percentage remaining, compression speed, decompression speed, memory required during compression and decompression):            PerRem    ComK/S    DecK/S     ComMem    DecMem LZRW1-A     55.1 %   17 K/s     69 K/s      16 K       0 K LZRW2       51.5 %   18 K/s     54 K/s      24 K      16 K LZRW2 has been written and released mainly to demonstrate the phrase table idea but may also be useful to th
