...reasons. At that time, I remember going to a Catholic school in Cotabato where all instruction was given by men in Spanish and I was the only white pupil. Shortly after, an American school teacher opened a public school, and I transferred to it. I sat between a Moro kid, a Chinese, and two Mestizos, and I joined heartily in "My countree 'tis off dee" every time a visitor showed up.

Besides him, the only living thing in the garage when the slaughterers left was the Gusenbergs' police dog, a fierce animal raging...
...defense of the chorus girl. William A. Grew, who wrote and acted in it, believes and tried to demonstrate that the ladies of the ensemble spend their off hours in Long Island homes fending off businessmen who are anything but tired. On the road the piece was called Undressed Kid and it contained an unusual amount of bedroom material, especially underpanties. As if vulgarity were not enough, the playwright sought to disentangle the plot with a series of dull and tiresome explanations. It lasted four days.
