Apropos of this paragraph: I read it to my wife (we are Jewish) who recently was thrown by an automobile on our principal thorofare, and who, contrary to your innuendo, made no fuss when she discovered that she had no injuries beyond a few bruises; that, even though the motorist was traveling along entirely beyond a reasonable rate of speed.

He obtained a conviction, but Harpers won their...
...gesture from Sacha Guitry is worth a paragraph. One smile from his wife, Yvonne Printemps, is a whole challenge. Don't let the dear old lady beside you try to use you as a dictionary, or the graduate student in front of you argue the history of the case. Follow Mozart with both eyes, and the devils take the hindmost...
