"Yes, I can feel anger too!" After half an hour, everyone was trying to dance, even the tremulous man who could do little but rub his hands together. The session ended with a slow waltz that lulled the patients with a soothing, cradling motion...
When the stout, one-man garment center was shot to death by a rival suitor for Miss Mansfield's shopsoiled hand, Boss Tweed was the first to assure the world that the departed had been "a man of broad soul and kindly heart." But the true verdict was given by Erie shares: as Fisk sank, they rose...
