29、taller on the short side, only to find that the added marble caused the Tower to sink still further.

30、 times the structure has been several times strengthened by cement, but to this day it is still in danger of collapse. Various schemes have been under consideration for saving, it. To rebuild an upright tower would be easy enough for modern engineering, but it would not be the same edifice as people
31、 love and remember it. The Leaning Tower must be left leaning, saved, not reconstructed.

Hoy stood up to throw the first ball of the World Series. Most people a
