...personal relationship to affect in any way any actions of mine in matters relating to the conduct of my office. If . . . I have in any way so conducted myself as to cast any semblance of doubt upon such conduct, I can only say that the error was one of judgment and certainly not of intent...
...garment industry, came a pronouncement last week: the sack is dead, and the chemise is so changed it will hardly be recognized. A record swarm of 3,578 out-of-town buyers crowded into the garment district for the annual June showings of fall fashions, heard the judgment of the manufacturers: they simply are not making the sack. As for chemises, since some big manufacturers found they had dropped to 5% of sales, they...
...bitterest pill of all was the general Republican disapproval. A sort of "abominable noman" to Eisenhower loyalists in need of favors from the Federal Government, Adams was the tough cop many could admire but few tried to like. Now that he himself was in trouble, many remembered his relentless judgment against Air Force Secretary Harold Talbott, who once or twice solicited business for his efficiency-engineering firm on official Air Force stationery.

...their peak at the beginning of the 16th century (see color page), Bernardino Butinone (active 1454-1507) and Ambrogio Fossano, known as "Il Borgognone" (circa 1450-1523). Butinone tried to combine the perspective of Florence with the mastery of light developed by the artists of Bruges. His The Last Judgment almost overcrowds the canvas with drama: the archangel is dividing the damned from the saved (including a Pope) in the foreground, while Christ sits on high in judgment, flanked by the Apostles and the Virgin Mary on one side and John the Baptist on the other. Il Borgognone...
