...nine parts a nervous disorder. It is St. Vitus's Talk." He opens a big door, then hastily slams it, when he admits: "The step from foul American slang to valuable English idiom is sometimes very short"-then changes the subject. He further weakens his case for Royalist English by attacking the divine right of dictionaries, even the Oxford (but he bows to H. W. Fowler's Modern English Usage).

Martyrs' friends and assassin's friends joyously joined battle, screaming, slugging, slapping and pulling. Frot's friends shrieked "Liberty! Liberty!" Somebody got one good swing at Frot just before a slim, dark youth ducked under Frot's guard, seized his wiry black beard and all but yanked it out by the roots. Republican Guardsmen rushed in, hustled...
...District of Columbia Supreme Court by J. Edward Jones, the Manhattan oil royalty dealer whom SEC has been trying to put out of business for nearly a year. His other SEC trouble involved issuance of new securities. That case-the only pending challenge of the 1933 Act-Royalist Jones appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, which has not yet accepted it for consideration...
