...eserved for those cases where men wilfully persist in wrong action. Such cases, it is needless to say, rarely occur in college. It is an evil of the same kind, though not of the same degree, to try to convince by epithets, as to have recourse to bowie-knife and revolver when the pen has failed...
Backing away from the plebiscite, Marcos said that he had tried to give the Philippines a "smiling martial law." But his regime has grown increasingly uneasy in recent weeks. Last month Imelda Marcos, the President's wife, was injured by a knife-wielding assailant at a public gathering.

They develop great career plans for him when a buddy of theirs disappears during a group burglary. Galy's not much of a soldier, but what's the difference, one man's like the next and all are adaptable. "Throw him in a puddle and he'll grow webs between...
