...Wenkart sentences can be odd-for example, "The song of the toot root has made the princess snore."

They help teach literacy-hungry preschool children, but are also being used by such topflight private schools as New York City's Brearley. Sales to date: more than...
...Tangible Proof. Businessmen who feared that the stock market's summertime drop heralded a recession seem almost astonished at how good business has remained.

Gaullist forces won an absolute majority in the Assembly, thus indicating to some observers that French politics may evolve into a more nearly two-party system. Some traditional parties, such as the Independents and Peasants' Party, have lost much of their following as French public opinion has become Left and the Gaullist Right...
