...course, the foregoing does not begin to dispose of the issue. But it does indicate the scientific method of approach. It is utterly opposed to the swashbuckling code of honor or manliness, which sets up the slab-back policy and the hip-pocket ethics as categorical imperatives under all circumstances.

Whitney is still unable to take his regular turn in the box because of an injury to his finger which has caused him considerable trouble. Either Gill or Halloran, the two premier tossers of the Boston aggregation, will pitch for the opposing team. These...
...relief in Knoxville pink marble, representing six figures of characters taken from the poets best known works, in front of which is set on a projecting pedestal, a bronze portrait bust of Longfellow.
