...Labor's triumph in 1945. For them, it would be the moment when they must go to the King, give up their seals of office, and forgo the honors, the chauffeurs and cars, the ?5,000 a year, the sense of power and position which most ministers, being human, come to consider theirs forever. Most of the ministers probably did not yet know just which heads would roll. Last week Prime Minister Attlee was apparently still making up his mind...
...Christian Error. "We should like to present three propositions, the first of which applies to both Protestants and Catholics, the second to Catholics, and the third to Protestants. The first proposition is that there is an unfortunate inclination in the human heart, which Christians should, but have not, mastered, to be more concerned with the sins of others than with our own sins. ...

...root of all evil in the sins of the other and not in those of the self is as wrong as it is natural.

He took a talented but out-of-sorts team, listened to all the complaints, took the players' side in any beef with the front office. Once, when a Yankee pitcher...
Debt & Illness. Coupled with union politics was the human tendency to take the cash and let the credit go. As 34,782 of Ford's 110,000 workers are under 40, they would have another 25 years to go before they were eligible for pensions. Many of them felt sure that, before then, they would have better jobs or be their own bosses...
