But the policy of British Labor turned historically toward revolution in Leicester, a rusty old red brick English city on the Soar (into which upright Leicesterians hurled the corpse of detested King Richard III).

The nearest he came to taking a direct crack at Nominee Roosevelt...

One hundred men. they show, working steadily in less than a dozen U. S. brick plants, can produce all the bricks the country needs. To produce all the commodities which the U.
