Hood in a Hood. The tales were the kind that no small boy was likely to forget. For two glorious years in the 1870s young Ned Kelly, with a ?2,000 price on his head, led a hard-riding gang, "bailed up" banks, "duffed" horses, stood off whole companies of police troopers. The gang, which included Ned's brother Dan, bulletproofed themselves in massive vests beaten out of plowshares and canlike helmets. Staging holdups on a grand scale, the gang was generous with its loot, reserved its gunfire primarily for the police, and acquired the aura of latter...
...while some of their best players nurse assorted aches and pains on the sidelines. The St. Louis Cardinals have come upon a pair of pitching brothers named McDaniel, and for the first time in eleven years St. Louis has reason to remember the happy days of the Gashouse Gang and the Dean boys, whose strong right arms used to burn up the league.

Then they took over the community. They bought all the beer in town (100 cases), buzzed over to neighboring Altaville for more, and for wine. They guzzled fast, tossed empty cans and bottles into gutters. Residents soon found drunks stretched in their doorways. A group trailed a town girl; while one yelled...
...hinted that Rossellini claimed to be a pal of Nehru's. Neutralist Nehru took sides instanter. "That rascal!" cried he. "Does he say I'm his friend? I barely met him. He's no friend of mine!" Somebody suggested that the family should have hired a gang of goondas (goons) to thrash the rascal. "Why didn't you?" snapped Nehru...
