...Soldiers are in the schools, in many state ministries, in the factories and even in the fields. In some instances they are actually on production lines, or running railroads; in others, they are busy restoring law and order and knocking heads together. Last week, as the semiannual Canton trade fair opened a month late, heavily armed soldiers patrolled the fair site with fixed bayonets-the first time in the fair's eleven-year history that such protection has been felt necessary.

The large sum requested required a risky in-person performance. A promoter of the new scheme can use a photocopy machine and the mails...
...enmity in equal measure: "When he was a backbencher, Churchill had spoken as if he were an Under-Secretary; as Under-Secretary, as if a member of the Cabinet; and when he reached the Cabinet, he was apt to speak as if he were Prime Minister." It is only fair to add that as Prime Minister, he was likely to speak as if he were...
