Here are men holding important positions within our party who always stand against any law that will fight organized crime effectively or that will enable us to reform our election laws to help prevent vote fraud...
Troweled Guilt. Naturally a citizen cannot escape being proved a fraud by spending his weekends working instead of fun having. The business man who keeps Saturday office hours does not do it to catch up on his work, nor to impress his boss; he is hiding from failure as a fun haver. The weekend gardener trowels guilt into the soil; the Sunday painter paints his soul off-white...
Suspicion of Fraud. Under German law, prosecutors need not immediately bring charges against arrested suspects, and the Koblenz prosecutors directing the Henschel case were tightlipped. Ruhr-born Goergen was simply confined to a Kassel jail on "suspicion of fraud against the German government."

...described himself as distingue. W. C. Fields modeled his style, his speech and his manner after Nicky Arnstein. Something quite approximate to the real Nicky might have cured the flaws in Funny Girl. Instead, Stark settled for a paraffin prince out of Franz Lehar, who only turns to fraud out of temporary insanity arising from his embarrassment over accepting handouts from Fanny. Hence Barbra Streisand has no competition on the stage. A fight to the death with a more vigorous Nicky, given plenty of songs of his own, might have balanced the night...
