...branch in Logan for First National Bank of Logan and in 1963 one in Ogden for First Security Bank of Utah, partly on the ground that Utah's restriction on branching "method" did not apply to national banks. That approval, ruled Justice Clark, amounted to "a strange argument that permits one to pick and choose what portion of the law binds...
Though advertising agencies might tilt about car-rental rankings, there is no argument over the No. 1 in their own profession. Meeting in Chicago last week, directors of Manhattan-based J. Walter Thompson reported that the 102-year-old company had easily maintained its place at the top.

A weapon which is non-lethal can either temporarily incapacitate (like tear gas) or permanently maim. As long as it does not kill, it is non-lethal...
