Warehouse does not pretend to be for everyone, or for anyone at all stages of their development. The staff meets every day after school to discuss the students' needs and activities (each staff member has a number of advisees with whom they try to interact especially) and happenings in the school. If the school does not seem right for the student, or vice versa, a staff member talks it over with the parents. Some students use the school as if they might be in a more conventional school--predominantly academically--others use it as a social outlet for a while...
...abroad for himself as a man of fairness and integrity, which did much to restore a sense of pride to the West German nation. In both East and West he made Germany salonfáhig (socially acceptable). No longer did young German tourists in France or Holland have to pretend that they were Swedes, and no longer did the governments of Eastern Europe blame all their problems on the "revanchist West Germans." During the 1972 national election, which he won handily, Brandt chose a slogan that would have been unthinkable only a few years earlier: GERMANS! YOU CAN BE PROUD...
...guess he should, shouldn't he?" Nixon observes, when his counsel suggests that Gordon Strachan pretend he knows nothing about anything. "I suppose we can't call that justice, can we?"

But then, Congress has been moving closer to Nixon's way of looking at things for awhile now. The most important account in the Judiciary Committee's bill of investigation, Nixon's "secret" bombing of Cambodia for three years, quietly dropped from their priority list a couple of weeks ago. Of course, if Congress cared as much about innocent people's lives as about electioneering dirty tricks...
...sheds a desultory tear when Kit kills her father but becomes quickly absorbed in her relationship with her new, and first, boy friend. She draws a snug blanket of smarmy romanticism over everything. Hiding out in the countryside, Kit and Holly build a tree house and pretend they are pioneers. When they are discovered and Kit guns the intruders down, she watches it all as if he were bagging a couple of animals for supper...
