...Armanis instead. This provoked a flurry of activity, since the nearby Dayton's didn't carry the favored designer in 42-long. Officers had to fetch some from the chain's Minneapolis branch. But the delay may have paid off, since by the time the new loot arrived, the elder Dicks were home. After some dickering--they explained that they never paid more than one-fifth of list--the couple handed over $800 for five $1,200 suits and six Polo sweaters. Then, say reports, they repaired to the laundry room and deftly removed some exploding-ink antitheft devices...

An animal need only push a button, and a pheromone was released at lightening speed from one machine to another.

Better that the candidate end his career in prime time, droning on about his second-grade teacher, than at sparsely attended airport rallies, shouting epithets into the wind...
Norman Reece is an antiabortion candidate; his campaign posters feature the tiny feet of a 10-week-old fetus. An elder and deacon at his church, he promotes "Principles over Politics," his campaign slogan. Reece's principles are orthodox conservative, with heavy emphasis against "meddlesome government."
