...lose another daily. Then, after a week's trial run with the computer at the Post, Bert Powers went off on vacation. The paper went back to its old-fashioned Linotype machines, and Mrs. Schiff, apparently accepting at least a temporary defeat, announced the negotiations had been adjourned sine...
Among boating buffs, unlike the mink-toothbrush set, there is no such creature as the man who has every thing. He may think he has - between boat shows.

By launching a reform whose goal is to make the Catholic Church sine macula et ruga (without spot or wrinkle), John set out to adapt his church's whole life and stance to the revolutionary changes in science, economics, morals and politics that have swept the modern world: to make it, in short, more Catholic and less Roman.
