Others may plunge a needle into a patient's heart and deliberately stop its beat for as long as they need to work inside it.

Abandoning both 318's index and insertion of the appropriate house article between...

(where a Coca-Cola machine in a Negro-owned service station carried a sign saying, "This machine has economic pressure. It is dangerous to insert money...
