...milling industry," said Chairman Philip W. Pillsbury of Pillsbury, "that a good deal of bakery flour is sold at a loss." Since the Korean war, says he, the millers' profit margin in the sale of bakery flour has held at 1% of the retail price of a loaf of white bread.

The cost of wheat makes up five-sixths of the flour price, and Government crop-support programs are the major factor in determining the wheat price...

He even wrote an extensive survey of wizardry, Mirror of Magic, and admitted that his paintings were often a reflection of it. "I have interpreted...

Patently the eucharist, as the Lord expressly states in the sixth chapter of John's gospel. Which is more truly history, the narration of Luke and Matthew (transeat its literary form), or the eviscerated version lucubrated by the gnosis of the demythologizers? Evidently the former. If the hermeneutical scalpel is to be wielded in public, one must use great care lest he convey to the little ones that Scrooge was correct when he said...
