...Frankie's pants have perfect creases. That other guy looks like a bum." Replied Billows affably: "Lady, I've got a nicely pressed suit in my locker -and I'll wear it tomorrow in my semifinal match." Stranahan had already muffed three easy putts, let it bother him so much that he began bending his tee shots. On the 13th hole, he hooked into deep rough, was in more rough with his second shot, struck a tree with his third, and conceded hole and match after his fourth barely reached the green.

"But there's plenty of time to teach the students Shaw and Shakespeare in school. This is show business, pure and simple, and from the bottom up." And he thought that he knew how to finish his doctor...
...billion-peso ($1.8 billion) budget. In four hours they passed 28 bills, including one that would give the President a dictator's power: it authorized him to mobilize men and resources by decree whenever he thought the nation's welfare demanded it. Peronista deputies did not bother even to have the bill read aloud...
