...billion than most seers had forecast. Al most every American shared in the unparalleled prosperity. Unemployment was down to 2,463,000 in November, and workers were eagerly baited, cajoled and lured into jobs by ads and employment agencies from coast to coast. The shortage was not only of brawn, but also of brain. Some years ago Planemaker Boeing, for example, needed one engineer for every 15 employees. By this year the ratio was down to one engineer for every ten-and Boeing was desperately searching for more engineers...
...wartime buddies in the Italian underground, Subbiano's two top Communists made a fine team; tough Mayor Sabatino Cerofolino had the brawn and wily Party Secretary Italo Nofri had the brain.

The home nine had the brawn (a 340 foot, two-run homer) and the advantage of playing before a partisan crowd--1500 cheering fans--but the Crimson overcame these with strategy and a tighter defense...
...fantastic what a cheap price is put on 'education' at this school. We are all just plain stupid, spending years preparing for education in specified fields when a man with nothing but brawn and no brains can get $17,000 a year for chasing a bunch of ninnies around a field with a ball. Every time I think of it, I get so outraged I could spit...
