...trick is to ignite the match without call-ing it to the attention of the victim. That is where Jack's cigar comes in. Striking a match to ignite the "hot foot" would make a noise...
...week General Mola requested journalists to drop the term "Rebels," pointing out that the Franco-Mola forces are operating against a Spanish Government, many of whose members are of such a politically "Rebel" stamp that only a few years ago they sat in jail. Said General Mola: "You should call our forces the 'Patriots' but if you do not wish to do that you might call them the 'Whites'."

...demand for the reinstatement of Lynch and Armstrong was refused. The Seattle Central Labor Council promptly announced that the Post-Intelligencer was "unfair to organized labor." The Guild ordered its membership out, claimed 40 newsmen from the Post-Intelligencer's staff of 68 answered the strike call. A picket line around the publishing plant was formed, aided by the redoubtable Teamsters', Loggers' and Longshoremen's unions. Careful to explain that they "were not on a sympathetic strike," the Post-Intelligencer's typographical men simply refused to pass through the tough picket lines to & from work...
