...mild a word to describe Jimmy Clark's turn of luck. The best-known racing-car driver in the world, two-time Grand Prix champion, winner and twice runner-up in the Indianapolis 500, Clark had not won a Grand Prix race all year, and he had lost his world title to Australia's Jack Brabham...
...Republican document was, if anything, mild compared with separate attacks on Administration war policy mounted by two New Frontiersmen who stayed on a while under L.B.J.

Any alternative words or flagging from a metronome-paced cursing speed of up to 200 cusses a minute was discouraged by mild electric shocks...
