...Chicago shopkeeper, Ross was a bookish 14-year-old studying to be a Hebrew teacher when his father was murdered by two hoodlums, who subsequently went free on a technicality. Raging at the law, Barney took to the streets himself, finally became a fighter to feed his family. His boxing style was all guts-and so was his style as a U.S. Marine on Guadalcanal in 1942, when he killed 22 of the enemy while guarding three wounded buddies and nursing his own wounds.

Jonson's proposal of a tax surcharge, however, is an encouraging sign, if he means to use the additional $45 billion in yearly revenue to ensure that domestic programs will not be cannibalized to feed the war.

A gorilla had been seen pulling fruit to within its grasp by means of a crooked branch. The sea otter used rocks for opening shellfish. And Galapagos woodpecker finches probed insects from holes with short twigs...
Many Indian women think it is their duty to bear male heirs in order to please their husbands-and are thus puzzled by the slogan. Poor outcastes think of every new baby not as another mouth to feed but as a potential breadwinner for the family. Moslem mullahs (religious teachers) will not urge their believers to practice birth control for fear that the Hindus will go on proliferating and widen their population and political advantage...
