The disbelief arose from the snobbish, traditional feeling that Shakespeare must be dressed up fit to kill, cannot possibly be made presentable on the bare boards he wrote...
...these usually unhappy creatures happen to develop is beyond biology's present knowledge. Dr. Young guesses: "Fundamentally these disturbances of development must rest on the original chromosome formula" in the fertilized ovum which turns into a hermaphroditic baby.

But the powermen soon found that the Government held down the original cost by the simple expedient of writing off large chunks to such things as flood control or navigation improvement. In the opinion of powermen, who must pay interest on the entire cost of their dams and plants, these write-offs made the yardstick something under 36 inches in length. The President's suggestion was to bring the two yardsticks in line-by cutting a few inches off the private yardstick. He said nothing, however, about...
