...finale, the orchestra pit rises majestically, slides back to join the other half of the orchestra onstage. and the united orchestra keeps on sliding back and back, leaving a huge ballroom with golden chandeliers and white and gold columns, ready for the younger Strauss's big moment...
Heartening to most campuses, the news was of small moment to five elderly, aristocratic spinster sisters in the East. At the top of their class, the sisters-Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley-have had no trouble keeping at or very near their top limits of enrollment.

The moment that a Justice begins to advise on matters of public moment, his position begins to loss its sanctity, and he becomes subordinate to the political views of the Executive. Perhaps the tendency to concentrate the government in the Executive branch may continue, but until approval is won after serious debate, even such capable men as Judge Brandeis must assist in preserving the present structure of government...
