Lady Sophie flew solo to Cairo. The race was hers. She had done the hard bit -vast veldt and jungle now lay in wait only for her rival. But, name of a dog, at the Cairo airdrome, where she stopped for supplies, officers padlocked her plane. It was not safe, they said, for a lady to cross the Mediterranean alone...
...expected the Rangers to win; they were facing many handicaps. Light and fast, they had to play the toughest, heaviest team in hockey, the Maroons of Montreal.

He tries to generalize on the principles and characteristics of one party as distinct from the other, differences perhaps more apparent than real. The presidents, from Lincoln to Coolidge, he considers both as individuals and as party leaders...
