Many critics would set aside technicalities in favor of quick and sure justice. To them, Handlin replies: "The desire to see the wrong-doer brought to retribution may lead only to an act of revenge in satisfaction of the private offense. Justice involves more than that. It calls for recognition that the offense was directed not simply against the individual who suffered but against the whole community." Again citing history, Handlin emphasizes the Jewish people's traditional adherence to law. If Eichmann is suddenly more important than the law, he suggests, that tradition has been violated...
...Ferguson kind of a man." As the first farm-equipment manufacturer to launch a network TV campaign, Toronto's Massey-Ferguson Ltd.. the world's largest maker of tractors and self-propelled combines, described their man as "a special kind of man; he's a doer, not a talker.

When the field carried wide on the stretch turn, he wove and darted toward the rail with the sure-footed skill of an All-American halfback. Silky shot under the wire a widening three lengths in front of his stablemate, Harcall. Said...
...pail, Silky is what stablemen call a "good doer." He eats like a horse. But the feed never turns to fat; it only stokes Silky's fires. He burns it up according to the dictates of his own four-footed psyche; his jockey is only along for the ride. He breaks from the gate like a common sprinter, races 70 yds., then lags as if his safety valve had popped. Wags in the press box contend that he is a ham who hates to leave the grandstand. And it is a heart-stopping fact to bettors that he begins...
