...Shell Game. Through the years, Sheil's views were often antithetical to those of his church: he opposed, for instance, the Franco regime in Spain. He was among the first to assail the Sunday afternoon fulminations of Radio Priest Charles Coughlin at. home. He adopted as his own the words of French Cardinal Jules Saliege: "The Kingdom of God is not of this world, but it is in this world that...
Just before I left school that spring, two cats got a kilo of grass in the mail. They sold lids [packages containing roughly one ounce] and I bought two. I put them in my suitcase and the first night home, I smoked and left the bag under the bed instead of hiding it. One of my brothers found it and brought it to my parents.

Pot is best when shared with other people...

On the other hand, the commission does not even screen local TV and radio commercials or scan newspaper ads to detect the fraudulent practices-fictitious pricing, home-improvement gyps, "bait-and-switch"schemes-that the FTC's own studies indicate are widely practiced in ghetto areas. The main reason for this failing is that the commissioners have given their staff little guidance as to what kind of cases to concentrate on. The staff has been reacting...
