To blame him for the defeat would be foolish, but he failed to make anything more than routine stops, and his defensive sallies out from the net were often ill-advised. Sullivan made every one of his chances count, and the game was soon sewed...
Sorry you disliked my life of an average New Yorker (TIME, Dec. 18). . . . A cousinly misunderstanding is no fault of the average journalist.

Nor was he pleased by her justifiable notations that despite all the Greens and Lewises at the top, undeclared peace is steadily permeating U. S. Labor at the bottom. Between local unions in both camps, said she, "there is an increasing spirit of cooperation ... an unwritten but developing respect for each other's jurisdictions and joint action to protect certain rights and opportunities...
