...thoughtful members of this academic community, and most particularly our colleagues who have labored long to understand and present the Korean case, will want actively to reject. South Korea is a nation that has suffered too long and come too far to have its government and its international friends betray its real interests in the very name of defending them...

It's elementary, my dear Watson. What we have here is an impostor. Would the real Sherlock Holmes ever stoop to such depths of passion...

In fact, money talked. In a lopsided swap, Avon offered $45 worth of its stock for each share of Tiffany, which had been hovering...

...them in her book; all except the evil Rifes (a family of villainous munitions manufacturers) are unbelievably sensitive and peaceable types. Whenever anything goes wrong, Cora, like Grandpa Walton, gives us a salt-of-the-earth piece of wisdom and puts everything to rights. The men don't betray the women. The women don't betray each other. If someone is crazy, he's harmless and cute and everyone is tolerant...
