...many a Republican vote, no famed New Dealers went up from Washington to help his fight.

In the opera last week it was the tortured Hanan who bewitched Leah. To exorcise his spell she was led before an ancient rabbi to whom Sender admitted his treachery, gladly consented to renounce half his riches.
