...justice to the hectic script. His Sir Despard Murgatroyd is first exuberantly wicked as the bad baronet who pays for his sins by contributing to the Church.

I deplore a system that regards the indiscriminate handing out of checks as its prime function, that subsidizes the lazy and immoral home with the tax payer's dollar." To stem Philadelphia's juvenile crime (up 27% last year), Judge Stout, who is married but childless, advocates taking children away from relief homes and raising them in public dormitories where they can be urged to buckle down to schoolwork...
