...then some individual finds his vocabulary cramping and proceeds to inflate it. If he is a man of affairs, with little time to study the dictionary, he may resort to his own inspiration. Such pressure from within gave us "normalcy", a queer word which turns in on itself twice and comes out with a meaning contained in its first four letters. From the same source came a more recent addition to the American vocabulary, the word "humorically" which is seen to have a shade of meaning all its own.

Considerable uncertainty preceded the decisions of the court of last resort, as the questions decided had never come up previously in any state. Lower tribunals in New York were unanimously of opinion that an unrecognized government has no status of any kind, and thus no standing in court as a party plaintiff. But an appellate unit decided that the Soviet government, being a de facto government, could be sued.

...Princeton defense. Van Gerbig recovered it, however, and went down to the Crimson ice where the Tigers maintained a prolonged attack. For most of the period the play was down on the University's defensive line, but the Tiger wings could not break through and were forced to resort to long, ineffective shots. In the middle of the period Coach Gaw met the move by shifting Van Gerbig to a similar position with the result that play was materially speeded...
