...recognized as Barbi, the local Communist leader. He also joined in the conversation. Then, seeing me standing near there, he eyed me suspiciously. I stood there with a blank look, and then after a few moments glanced at my watch as if expecting someone. I muttered a few English cuss words such as all Italians have learned. They took it for granted I couldn't understand Italian and continued their talk. Barbi said: 'The way Councilor Gallo went on about red being blood's color. Such nonsense! He knows nothing else to say. But black...
...sulphurous meeting in Washington last week, 50 of the nation's biggest mule dealers cussed in concert as only men who have mingled with mules can cuss. They mentioned, in various uncomplimentary ways, the U.S. Government, the Department of Agriculture and the Mexican Government.

Position Taken. "You know," Ed Martin once remarked, "there's never been anything colorful about me. I've just had to work like the devil." This is an accurate appraisal. The most colorful thing about him is his Army cussing. When the members of the First Presbyterian Church of Washington, Pa., wanted to make him an elder, he demurred. "I take a highball and cuss a little," he explained. They elected him anyhow. Actually he drinks very little, smokes not at all. His gravelly throat is the result of his gassing...
