...Medical Research and the Clinic may be compared. But it is illogical and stupid to infer that cutting off a hoof in process of butchering is comparable to surgical amputation.

...extracted a 4% discount on canned soups and vegetables from Maryland's Colonel Albanus Phillips; how A. & P. got 3% off on sardines from R. J. Peacock Canning Co. in Lubec, Me.; how it got a 3% allowance on canned cherries from an Alton, N. Y. packer. Not only did the Commission suspect discrimination: it looked as if A. & P. had merely substituted a 3% or 4% discount for the old 3% or 4% brokerage allowance it used to ask and receive. Under the new law a seller may not pay a buyer a commission in any form whatever...
