...cried: "Giuliano, Giuliano, you are killing my flock, you are ruining their fields . . . Come and talk to me." After several hours waiting in the sun, when Giuliano still did not come, the cardinal gathered his vestments about him and cried aloud: "Giuliano. I am your archbishop, and I forbid you to kill!" Not till then did he walk home alone through the darkness to Palermo...
Fearing betrayal of citizens' rights, Bricker would protect them from encroachments by presidential treaty or agreement. He would further forbid cession of governmental duties to any supra-national body. Ratified treaties would always require a second approval by Congress to become law.

A Briton may buy toothpaste but not a toothbrush, may have his shoes repaired...
...endowment (ninth among the nation's private universities) with the construction of a model community on its 9,000-acre "farm." Left to the university by Railroad Tycoon Leland Stanford, the farm includes some of the richest land in northern California. But the terms of the university charter forbid its sale. For the past 50 years almost its only product has been hay. Now university authorities will let individuals rent the land on 99-year leases. They hope to see schools, homes, shopping centers and light industry take over most of the farm. Even with 3,000 acres...
