...altogether possible that U.S. naval vessels were within hearing of the Hood's last blast. The U.S. Atlantic Fleet keeps a regular (although, in those northern waters, a scattered) patrol on behalf of the British. It was even possible (though unlikely) that some patrolling U.S. ship tipped off the British to the Nazi rovers' whereabouts. Certainly, if the U.S. patrol had spotted the Bismarck and her escorts beforehand, the tip-off would have been quickly given-that is what the U.S. patrol...

Last week, stung with embarrassment at landing on his kinky head, the champion, up at the count of four, came back-a little groggy at first-to blast the young upstart with all he had.

The principal objective of National Anti-Poll Tax Week is to blast this bill out of the committee by getting two hundred and eighteen signatures of congressmen on a discharge petition, the number of signatures necessary to bring the bill before the House. If the campaign is successful, and the "right to vote" becomes more than an idle phrase to ten million southern citizens, we can then perhaps...
