...Teamster insurgents, charging that Hoffa's election had been rigged, sued in 1957 to prevent him from taking over the presidency. Hoffa made a deal that most Hoffa haters thought was a fatal blunder: if he could move in as "provisional" president, he would permit a board of monitors to oversee Teamster affairs.

Then we have from ten to 30 seconds to get it out before the heart is starved for blood and the patient has a heart attack...

But political virginity is not easily assaulted. In an editorial endorsing the Democrat Boutin for governor and Republicans for everything else, the Concord Monitor felt it necessary to maintain that "there is no moral or legal compulsion" to vote a straight ticket...
