...papers. She enacts laws by and with parliamentary assent, appoints judges and magistrates who act in her name,* confers titles and creates peerages. She is supreme head of the Church of England and the Church of Scotland, which makes her an Anglican south of the Tweed, and a Presbyterian north of it. She is guardian of infants, idiots and lunatics (the Lord Chancellor actually does this job). If a condemned murderer should be pardoned, the Home Secretary will tell her so (George VI conscientiously read up on capital cases, but often discussed the case afterwards with the Home Secretary...
Usually, when a surgeon gives emergency massage to a stopped heart, he soon knows where he stands: either the heart picks up and beats strongly, or it fails to.

After more than 100 minutes of massaging by four doctors working in relays, her heart still refused to settle down to a steady pumping beat.

That night, the pilgrims paraded to Constitution Hall for a rally. Anti-Catholic literature was passed out. The Rev. Carl Mclntire, a deposed minister of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., now pastor of his own "Bible Presbyterian Church" of Collingswood, N.J., said: "Communism is an enemy; we are all against it. But we have another enemy too, older, shrewder. It is Roman Catholicism and its bid for world power. In the U.S., it is Spellmanism...
