...some like Denver's dogs (pop. 36,000) on the loose and some like them on leashes. Until recently, the city council avoided a leash law. This year, with 654 dogbites reported by May, the issue went on the ballot. No other civic problem worked up so much sentiment and spleen. "Dogs that are tied up and fenced continuously will become excited and grieved," warned grieved, excited Attorney Philip Rossman, the Denver dog's best friend. "On behalf of Rusty, my old Irish setter," the Denver Post's veteran Statehouse Reporter Bert Hanna wrote a misty-eyed...

Even so, Labor got 46.3% of the less than 27,000,000 votes. It represents a strong sentiment in the nation, but it lacks leadership, and its leadership lacks a program.

This sentiment was so strong that even Sir Winston Churchill repeatedly urged such a conference, if only to prove that Russian peace talk was insincere. The U.S. refused to be deflected from the defense of Europe by the conference clamor...
...least, Shady Hill, where Charles Eliot Norton lived, and after him Professor Paul Saches. One might suggest that much of Harvard's modern eminence was first devised, shaped and plotted at Shady Hill. One may remark that the legendary figures of half a century ago gathered there. Perhaps sentiment is of little value where measured against dollars and cents; I am inclined to disagree...
