...from the track. Fronting on its brief course were the low brick facades of the drug store with its awning, the post office with its green shades, the bank with its blank windows, the general store with its metal canopy, the grocery stores, the filling stations. But in one respect this small town was different: the tourists asleep in the rooms over the drug store and post office, after getting up and waiting their turn at the bathroom-down-the-hall, would pay, not $1.50 or $2 for their beds, but $5 for the privilege of having slept...
Warner Bros, officials describe the British censors as "unpredictable," but they are entirely consistent. Respect-worthy things, such as ministers and officers, must be respected, and people must not be upset or told too much.

...clear," Professor Perry remarks, "that James did not, like Hall, accept the experimental psychology of his day as marking the advent of the new era. This was clearly not what he was looking for! It is true that he had from the beginning, and never lost, a respect for facts. He distrusted speculation in vacuo, abstract dialectic, and learning from books. . . . But James felt, as we have seen, a growing distaste for experimental psychology owing to physical and temperamental reasons. He lacked the strength to spend long hours in a laboratory; a recurrent lumbago prevented his standing, and trouble with...
