...would seem to listen to two separate Quentins now--the Quentin Compson preparing for Harvard in the South, the deep South dead since 1865 and peopled with garrulous outraged baffled ghosts...and the Quentin Compson who was still too young to deserve yet to be a ghost, but nevertheless having to be one for all that, since he was born and bred in the deep South...--William Faulkner Absalom, Absalom...
...similar laws. The M.P.A.A., however, strongly resists the creation of a separate R-V code. The association contends that it already considers a film's violence in its rating. The M.P.A.A. usually evaluates only those films that are released in theaters, not those that are made exclusively for videocassette.

In the case of other films, additional scenes of bloody gore are inserted after they have been shown in theaters...
Sometimes Phillips is almost willful in her virtuosity, and sometimes she is borne along too easily on waves of rhythmic prose.

In florid speeches, they demanded land rights so they can levy royalties on gold that is mined, as well as better communications, health care and education...
...sense believe that Professors Bailyn, Fleming and Handlin are infallible. I have known them much too long to believe such a thing. Nevertheless, their reservations about loading a department with specialists in flowers that bloom in the spring and fade in the summer seem to me to do them credit. The back offices of history departments which did not resist pressure to be up-to-date are now full of such worthless rubbish, which by law they must keep until death do them part. J.H.
