...seat Bundestag, the Free Democrats are not all that certain to get the 5% of the total vote necessary to be represented at all in the Bundestag next September. Dramatically abandoning the C.D.U. now might reduce their popular support-and might even make Erhard angry enough to forget his long opposition to a Grand Coalition that would bring Socialists and Christian Democrats together as a new combine to rule West Germany...
...Angeles fans were ready to forgive and forget. So what if the Dodgers tied for sixth place last year. That was a fluke. Now Johnny Podres was fogging in fastballs the way he used to in the old Brooklyn days. Leftfielder Tommy Davis, whose batting average plummeted to .275 last year, was hitting like Babe Ruth in the Grapefruit League. Maury Wills was stealing every base in sight, tied down or not.

If I wasn't an actress, I'd have to be doing something else...
Hogben's book is full of clues to understanding alien but associated tongues. He urges the amateur linguist to forget the vowels and concentrate on the consonants, those "fossils" in the evolution of any language. The German word Zunge, for instance, might mystify the uninitiated unless he follows Hogben's advice to substitute T for the German Z. Similarly with the Spanish halcon, which leaps into intelligibility with Hogben's advice to trade...
