...aware that last spring's Easter riots were precipitated by the brutal attack on Rudi Dutschke, but the death of two innocent people hardly aided Dutschke's cause.) Of course German policemen have been brutal, but even the most hot-eyed disciples of Herr Herbert Marcuse can hardly believe that they throw stones. One further "accomplishment" out of many. From May 27-31 SDS-led "students" occupied the Germanic Seminar of the Free University of Berlin. I saw and smelled, all too vividly, the results of this liberation. (There had not been the slightest provocation on the part...
...elections for the Associated Press in 1909, challenged to a duel for insulting a French newspaperman in Paris in 1918 ("Somehow, I managed to crawl out of that fix").

None of the big cities in Texas, Oklahoma or New Mexico, for example, employ a psychiatrist or psychologist to look over job candidates. Atlanta Police Chief Herbert Jenkins relies on dozens of interviews with the applicant's acquaintances. "We're looking for a man who is able to get along with people, period," says Jenkins. "That may sound very amateurish, but it's the best psychological test that can be made...

The phrase was used in a 1928 G.O.P. campaign flyer, and was perpetuated as a Hooverism after Al Smith seized upon it for an ironic, scoffing attack. In any event, the term originated with France's King Henry IV (1553-1610), a champion phrasemaker of his day. He observed: "I wish there would not be a peasant so poor in all my realm who would not have a chicken in his pot every Sunday." Henry was also the three-centuries-removed ghostwriter for James G.
