Reuther immediately charged that this "shift" had "killed the service," and that "no amount of double-talk can now conceal the complete submergence of the Board of Regents and Governor Kim Sigler to the General Motors Corporation...
Odor In Pairs. Bad smells have affected the futures of big business, and the authors give most of their book to methods of sweetening people, homes, theaters, industrial products and the air around odoriferous factories.

(And I want it understood that I am not saying one unkind word against the man who brought the darling Dionne Quintuplets into this world. I've got cockles like the next guy.) Nevertheless, President Hersholt has stated that the Academy subsidy has been withdrawn because the Awards have been...
