Axis Sally showed no emotion at the verdict, which carries a maximum penalty of death (no traitor has ever been executed in the U.S. for treason against the U.S.), or a minimum of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. But as she left the courtroom she indulged in a final bit of defiant dramatics and daffy reasoning that left newsmen wondering if she really knew what the trial had all been about.

From another duel he had an open wound in his left arm; doctors wanted to amputate, but he refused and trusted in a poultice of slippery...
Siragusa also blasted the Zenith claim as "very poor advertising, about the poorest taste I ever saw . . . Nobody knows how or where or when the proposed new bands will fall." Admiral's Adman Seymour Mintz cried indignantly: "The public doesn't even know what a turret tuner is. All you have to do is put in some new condenser strips for higher frequencies.
