...Legs. The Voice was almost totally tone-deaf until two years ago; officials doubted the propaganda value of music. But it had at least a couple of staffers who were jazz buffs.

Bitterly, Pandit Nehru said that Bombay is "not ready for self-rule" and will...
...bury them, praised them. To Dr. José Maria Pi y Suñer, dean of the University of Barcelona's law school, a good chuleta is the mark of an alert student who has pored long and well over his lessons. Citing the exceptional case of a deaf student whose answers were perfect in an oral examination on canon law, Dean Suñer recalls that months later he learned that the lad's ears were as excellent as the grade he got. His hearing aid was actually a chuleta, a two-way phone with a wire...
