...hilarious, Oscar-winning The Music Box (1932), to the sad, tired, misconceived mishmash, Atoll K (1952). In all, the dim-witted duo made 90 films as a team, immortalizing such mannerisms as Ollie's blushing "tie twiddle" and exasperated slow burn and Stan's tearless, whimpering crying jag and flip-flopping walk (which he achieved by cutting the soles off his shoes). For some reason, women do not appreciate the humor as much as men do.

"The favorite American pastime is worry," Johnson told a group of White House fellows when the talk turned to inflation. "It's their favorite jag." But the light turned amber-and Johnson called for an application of the brakes-when he got a look last week at a fresh stream of statistics that showed that inflation, if nothing to get panicky about yet, is certainly something to be dealt with...
...commander may cut any sentence (though he may never increase it), after which his actions are reviewed by a Judge Advocate General's Corps lawyer from the accused's branch of the service. For all major sentences, the next step after the commander is a three-lawyer "JAG" board of review in the Pentagon...
