Last week the following names made the following news: "One can imagine our shaggy ancestors fighting fiercely with other wild savages or can picture them chasing through the dark underbrush after an animal that they hoped to broil over their fires that evening for dinner. Then, in the protection of the cave, after the crude meal, they played j games with polished bones and round stones, and yelled with delight or rolled upon the ground with laughter and wild glee. Sometimes, in the excitement, they would forget that they were playing, and would begin to fight. There...
...mitigate such militant expressions of the Monroe Doctrine as the Nicaraguan broil, to justify the dollar sign from U.

He knew that the Senate, after its World Court broil last January, would have no more to do with international brotherhood, unless its five reservations were accepted verbatim.
