But Hoffa blithely declared that the monitors' recommendations were purely advisory, ignored them completely ("O.K., you've advised me; I reject your advice"), looked forward confidently...
Political Lecture. Having put down the rank and file, Adenauer was ready to deal with Erhard himself.

Strauss argued that by "anything" he meant any secret information, not the few nonconfidential facts he got from AEC; But Strauss stirred up trouble for himself by telling the committee...

But last year Bedford Worth Black, an aggressive, 41-year-old lawyer, dared to file for the state legislature without consulting Cannon. What was more. Black pointedly conducted an independent campaign disavowing allegiance to anyone, "except the people." He slipped into office ahead of the incumbent, Eugene Bost-Cannon's first cousin...
