...much, if the moviegoer can believe his eyes. A pride of lions is really just a snoring shame. They lie around on their backs half the day, with their legs in the air like great tawny tabbies, and the rest of the time they lie on their stomachs and lick themselves. Once in a while Mother Lion gets up and carries a cub somewhere in her mouth, or leads him along with his tail between her teeth, but she soon lies down again.

...Democrats at French Lick read with approval the remarks of Fellow Democrat Jack Kroll, director of the C.I.O.'s Political Action Committee. Speaking at Milwaukee, Kroll cried that President Eisenhower was running "the most corrupt Administration this country has had since the Harding regime . . . [It is] the Big Mink Administration . . ."
