...books gotten out by the [Washington] Bicentennial Commission will live forever as the correct history of this country. . . . When I started on the Constitution to write the history of it, I just could not believe that there was so much misinformation on the Constitution of the U. S. . . . I doubt if there are 1,000 people in the U. S. who could have told me one year ago how many pages there were to the Constitution. . . . If it was not for the fact I have my heart and soul in this work I would not stand for some of these...
Exactly where all this happened, since the Amur is a meandering stream of several courses, weaving its way among sandbars and low-lying islands which it frequently engulfs, was a matter of some doubt in the minds of Comrade Litvinoff and Mr. Shigemitsu, no matter how precisely they both tried to talk.

There is no doubt that sea lions eat a few salmon, damage a few nets. But the California Fish & Game Commission now believes that they do much more good than harm because they eat valueless and destructive fish such as morays, squid, octopi, dogfish, deepwater crabs. The Commission also believes that there are enough natural checks to keep sea lions from, increasing too fast. It takes six weeks for the pups to learn to swim, and many are drowned before they learn. Others are trampled to death by careless parents. Killer whales and sharks eat sea lions young...
