...would not be caught dead without their own favorite brand of dart. The standard board, favored by USDA and a fixture in most English pubs, is made of tightly packed sisal fiber and marked off in 20 pieshaped sections with a score value of from 1 to 20, and inner and outer bull's-eyes worth 50 and 25 points respectively.* Some pubs, like Washington's Wakefields, have as many as five boards permanently...
...sure, there was a heady feeling of power for young men in dealing with the fate of the nation and jousting with generals. There was a certain selfishness in seeking a career as an "inner-and-outer," spending a few years in the thick of the Washington bureaucracy to establish can-do credentials for an enhanced reflective life back out on campus.

If the text varies by so much as a word, Jonathan cannot achieve orgasm. The great swordsman, the contemptuous user of women, has become impotent...
...issues were momentous, the situation unprecedented. The most massive leak of secret documents in U.S. history had suddenly exposed the sensitive inner processes whereby the Johnson Administration had abruptly escalated the nation's most unpopular?and unsuccessful?war. The Nixon Government, battling stubbornly to withdraw from that war at its own deliberate pace, took the historic step of seeking to suppress articles before publication, and threatened criminal action against the nation's most eminent newspaper...
