...President can be taken at his word and has really set his heart on freeing the log jam in the lower tribunals, tampering with the Supreme Court is hardly the place to begin.

During a "hot jam," Frenchman Emile Ignat, who was being relieved by his partner, Frenchman Emile Diot, gave Diot such an enthusiastic starting push that Diot's wheel wobbled and Ignat ran into it, spilling them both. It was the six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, around an O-shaped pine-board track, with 15 teams of two men each dressed in bright jerseys, pedaling in relays on bicycles that cost $100, weigh 19 Ib.
