...Away, slight men! You may have been leaders once. You are corporals of disaster now and a safe place for you may be yapping at the flanks but it is not safe to stand obstructing the front of this great army. You might be trampled underfoot - not knowingly but inadvertently - be cause of your small stature and of the up lifted glance of a people whose 'eyes have seen the glory' and whose purpose is in tent on the inspired leadership of your neighbor and my friend Franklin Roose velt...
...collective farms, for five years in the case of private farmers. In effect, the Red Dictator conferred the privilege of Capitalist free trade on the entire Soviet peasantry east of the Urals.

The advertising of such films is calculated to make the adolescent-minded public believe that fornication and other assorted lecheries are shown in all their nakedness on the screen, gotten past the censors by a thin veneer of hypocritical "educational" advice...
...treaty gave them a jolt. If & when ratified, it will make wild animals almost as safe in Africa's jungle as they are in a city Zoo. The whole continent will be patched with vast game reserves and national parks. Only in restricted zones around the parks and reserves will sportsmen be allowed and here bag limits will be minute...
