At the front, an uneasy truce was maintained as Indian troops warily waited to see if the Red Chinese forces would keep their pledge to withdraw 12½ miles behind the lines they occupied on Nov. 7, 1959.

More hopefully, Phillips took it to mean: "Well begun is half done." George Washington thought so well of the school that he sent his favorite nephew...
...people are theoretically going in and paying money for his blobs and craters. Mr. Wickline's artform, which is paint splashed on layers and levels of sand, burlap, and reindeer moss, offers no solution. The titles of his displayed works are "Entourage," "Into Night," "Still Night," "Quiet Harbor," "Impending," "Dusk, Autumn," and "Dawn Spring," all captured by odd strips and lumps of color in black backgrounds...
