...telegram...with its necessary knock and its flagrant yellow, and its curt phrase of necessary English--I know not which sense was more offended--hit me in the wing and I fell a heaped corpse upon the earth. The sense, if that can be said to have sense which has so little sound, was to discredit the respectability of a house in Fitzroy Square. And there you see me in the mud. Shall I argue that a mind that knows not Gibbon knows not mortality? or shall I affirm that bad English and respectability are twin sisters, dear...
...offices in 20 cities and towns, campaigned in the state for a year, and won strong union backing. He is also supported by six of the state's seven Democratic U.S. Representatives.

Says Sophomore Chad Restum: "Dan can do a reading involving three characters and never make a mistake with the different voices." The day when Seltzer is back performing at the podium may come none...
...most agile U.S. fighter. Israel's other combat planes (principally F-4 Phantoms and the Israeli-designed Kfirs) are being outfitted with the latest electronic gadgets to aid in night flying missions and foil antiaircraft missiles. The Shrike air-to-surface missile has been deployed to knock out the radars on which antiaircraft batteries depend. In addition, Israel is receiving "smart" bombs, which can be guided onto targets. Still on Jerusalem's shopping list are American RPVs (remotely piloted vehicles), which can counter the Arabs' Russian-built SAMs by drawing antiaircraft fire. To bolster its ground forces...
