Reading the cases, we easily tend to be cynical and dismiss the entire thing as a maudlin attempt to cash in on our sympathy, so generous and outgoing at Christmas time. Some readers, of course, might be moved to send in a few dollars to help Mrs. Bella H., 85, obtain the guidance she needs...
...There. The famed Berlin spirit long ago reckoned all its dangers, and decided not to dismiss them, but it also decided not to be oppressed by them. Says an officer of the Chamber of Trade and Industry, "We live by our hands and by our brains-and by other peoples' moods."

Mao himself makes no bones of his ambition to "drive the U.S. out of East Asia...
...used us to win or help win three elections. Our integration plan would have worked if it hadn't been for political interference." Out along with the rest of the board: School Superintendent Virgil T. Blossom. Before quitting, the board voted over Alford's objection to dismiss Blossom, pay him $19,741.41 for the remaining 19 months of his contract. But by week's end the segregationist machinery had produced a taxpayer's suit charging collusion, postponed payment...
