...appointed an independent commission to "study" the plan. To no one's surprise, the commission thought the project was splendid, and Dabard signed a construction contract. The council protested, but the mayor was ready. "If you question my judgment," he told the councilmen, "it means I no longer have your confidence. Therefore, I will have to resign." The council backed down, as expected...
Ethel is no longer the prankster she was in days past, when she would string up a dummy parachutist in a tree by way of greeting General Maxwell Taylor, who parachuted into Normandy on Dday.

(Besides, these are easily copied, sold at half the price, and worn by absolutely anyone.) These days, if she cares enough...

That debate involves some fundamental issues, and they affect not only an industry that likes to call itself the nation's oldest-tobacco-but also several other major lines of business, notably advertising and broadcasting. More basically, the issues go to the heart of the concept of freedom at a time when personal freedoms are being expanded...
