...clumsy persistence in trying to formulate stop-gap measures to replace laws ignominiously thrown out by the Supreme Court is typical of his underhand methods. If he had sufficient courage to brave the political blast, he would come out in favor of a constitutional amendment to legalize Hot Oil, Guffey Coal, and A.A.A. The people could then endorse or reject his theories of government and would be able to decide for themselves whether or not they wanted a planned economy and governmental regulation or industry. These fundamental issues, which differ widely from ideals that Americans have hitherto cherished, must...
Plan B men should be required to take an additional course to fill the tutorial gap, and this requirement should keep their work up to a sufficiently high level to warrant giving the same degree for both types of preparation.

To suit both needs in a single examination is nearly impossible...
...past fifteen years of diplomatic history have watched the decline of "collective security" and seen a tendency towards bilateral pacts, which have arisen to fill the gap.

Holy Roller Anderson shoved both arms in a box holding two rattlers, one copperhead. He was bitten three times. While 100 Holy Rollers shouted and sang, Anderson reeled, was assisted from the platform and taken home...
With the appointment of James M. Cox as trainer in the Dillon Field House Athletic set-up, the ever bothersome gap between the duties of the medical staff and the training room attendants will be bridged. Eddie Farrell used to occupy this post during the football season, but Cox is the first full time trainer in Dillon Field House History. Varsity equipment, as well as the "baking" lamps and training facilities will come under his jurisdiction...
