...truth is that the government is responsible for inflation. We are not to blame for offering our goods or labor services at a higher price, especially if the inflation is expected to continue or worsen.

These interests and the state thrive on theft and find...

...always hard to root against your own students. Thus in a subsequent year. I want Harvard to win, but Yale quarterback Joe Massey '71 in the star of my Latin class. What to do? Needless to say after the umbrella incident I am sitting on the Harvard side again. But now a shout for Joe might provoke my beloved confreres. How about an exhortation Latina voce? Negative. Suppose John Finley is nearby. Or Glen Bowersock. Or the Pope. I fear not violence, but some Ciceronian distribe nailed to the Field House door: te in Orcum demittimus--vale Segale! No, discretion...
