...announcing for nearly 150 years that no new animal would ever be found. But dozens have been found since then, including the Indian tapir, the Kodiak bear, the pygmy chimpanzee, the giant panda and the Komoda-dragon. Heuvelmans is confident that still more animals exist on earth than are dreamt of in the zoologist's handbooks...
...roused the students and announced that he would say Mass. The would-be demonstrators thought that he was blessing their cause, and when Mass was over, they listened eagerly as he rose to preach.

Beauties of the Night (Franco-London; United Artists). "If a workman were sure of dreaming every night that he was a king," wrote Blaise Pascal, "I believe he would be almost as happy as a king who dreamt every night that he was a workman."
