How tragic it is that the gratitude of the free world, which should flow to the U.S. in consequence, is being weakened by the apparent failure of U.S. trade policy to admit that in the arithmetic of international trade two and two make four...
...Italy the income-tax law is about as popular, and as enforceable, as Prohibition used to be in the U.S. Out of 47 million Italians, barely a million admit to any taxable income at all; of the million, only a handful admit to making more than 5,000,000 lire ($8,000) a year.

Over the years, Morrison and Bevan have been the bitterest of personal rivals...

It is a 'cosmic' scale because of the multiple overlay and continuous spiral movement in conjunction with the non-figurativeness." ¶ Arts summed...
