...John Rankin came out of the President's office and suggested that the secessionist Dixiecrats might stay hitched if the Democratic platform went no further on civil rights than the generalizations of the 1944 plank -which proclaimed that "racial and religious minorities have the right to live, develop and vote equally with all citizens...
...Protestant Church of God is in a tough spot. In Roman Catholic Mexico the members of his sect, who are most numerous in rural areas, are generally treated as outcasts.

The church cannot blush for her own want of tolerance, as she asserts it in principle and applies it in practice...
...that everything always went smoothly. To keep the Marquise Cassatti happy, the maítre d'hôtel himself had to fetch live rabbits for the two boa constrictors she kept in her bathroom. Once the management had to insist that the Countess de Salverte move out because her pet lion had grown too big. To survive World War II, the Ritz had to knuckle to such boorish guests as Hermann Göring. It salved its conscience by wheedling more food from the Nazis than it needed, supplying a lower-priced restaurant for Frenchmen around the corner...
