...Only twelve days previous in sonorous phrases unmistakably intended for the ears of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the leonine Mr. Lewis told the nation: "It ill behooves one who has supped at Labor's table and who has been sheltered in Labor's house to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both Labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly embrace."

Ever since the War, Germans have had drilled into them that Britain and France have meted out "unequal treatment" to the Reich and that this is the Crime of the Century.

Muralist Rivera, pleased as Punch, confirmed their claim that spraying walls with this preparation every three or four hours enables a painter to work twice as long on one section or to apply plaster to twice as large an area of wall at one swipe...
...Department guides, this gibberish had seemed merely one more artistic whimsy. But Mr. Stefansson said it was a message in the Kuskokwin dialect of Eskimos in Southern Alaska which meant: "To the people of Puerto Rico, our friends! Go ahead. Let us change chiefs. That alone can make us equal and free...
