.... the film as running, signifying a progression from a typical gangbanger to an educated athlete. Conversely, periods throughout the film where Malik is off the track team or not running, Singleton digresses Maliks' education and reverts the character back to a hoodlum. Evidence of this is when Malik is kicked off the track team, and Dr. Phipps informs Malik that his paper is not up to university standards.

.... ways could be manipulated to produce more energy. Despite many efforts to keep the environment clean, some 200 million tons of pollutants were filling the air each year, and clean air in many cities had been replaced by smog. The earth, air, and water were deteriorating as construction of highways, malls, and housing developments caused the destruction of fertile, irreplaceable farmland. Disposal of wastes was another dilemma to be dealt with. Burning could release poisonous gases into the air, and burial could cause harmful decay.

.... trenches” were not the most forward defensive position. Narrow passages called “saps” were dug at 90º to the main trench and were on average 30 yards long. These saps led to isolated positions only large enough for two men and were designed to listen for enemy movement. The sounds of shovels and picks underground were listened for extremely closely because enemy mining parties often tried to burrow beneath the front lines for a surprise attack or to plant a bomb. The German trenches near Somme were exceedingly more sophisticated than the British trenches. Often, German trenches were practically fortresses in a ho .....

.... in March 1978, Israel launched the first of four major attacks on southern Lebanon.
