...Gibb brothers formed a family combo almost as soon as they could walk.

Recognizing this, he would then have moved on to the problem raised by the drummer from Dow. He would properly and vigorously have condemned the physical detention of this hapless individual. But he would also have distinguished, as your letter did not, between my son and many others, whose only offense was a subsequent expression of solidarity through handing in their bursar's cards--doubtless...
