...Council's 125-man Consultative Assembly (equivalent in theory to the U.S. House of Representatives) meets twice yearly. Since 1949 it has contemplated issuing a common European passport, building a Jules Verne type of tunnel under the English Channel and outlawing the slogan "My country, right or wrong." But its counsels have produced little. Basically they represent a wish, not an urge...
...whose son was to loom even more largely in Filipino destiny, said of the guerrillas: Let's civilize 'em with a Krag rifle-and tried to. Then came years of civil rule, under strong and foresighted men like William Howard Taft and Henry Stimson. Taft's slogan was "The Philippines for the Filipinos."

We can treat the demands of Asia and Africa with understanding." And reacting to the Tory slogan, "A Vote for Labor Is a Vote for Bevan," Clement Attlee devoted a final broadcast to scotching the whispering campaign that, if elected, he would resign in favor of Bevan. "I am not going to resign," he said, "unless the people of this country reject my leadership...
