...mob is an ugly mob anywhere in the world; some fanciers claim that a Middle East mob is the worst, although objective observers who have seen well-educated Chinese hoodlums from Singapore colleges getting to work with fire and iron on prostrate policemen are inclined to award them the palm; but all fair-minded witnesses will agree that a Djakarta mob in full cry under a noon sun ... can hold its own in world company...
...organs, the brain and heart, has become more daring and more effective, it has also become more complex. Each new mechanical or electronic aid to the surgeon's skills requires people to run it, and an operating room being used for open-heart surgery now looks like a mob scene from Shakespeare.

...dean of sleuths, who speaks eight languages and has solved 17 murders, Yard men investigating the Great Buckinghamshire Train Robbery succeeded in rounding up nine suspects, recovered $761,367 of the $7,000,000 loot. Also on hand were Ernest Millen, boss of the Flying Squad, alias the Heavy Mob, whose 100-odd sleuths know more about the underworld than Dante; and the Terrible Twins, top Detectives Tom Butler and Peter Vibart, who have cracked many a big case together. Yet, so far at least, the gang's ringleaders were still at large. Even without such humiliations...
