...Spade is a tough monkey with a head as soft as the next guy's when it meets a flying blackjack or a loaded whiskey. Hammett's policemen aren't nice fellows, there is little romance in their jobs and they often become upset. Some times they even slug law abiding citizens...
...lake front, the small-arms drone, insistent and incessant, was heard again. Last week, with something of the sound of mock war, the National Rifle and Pistol Matches were in full crackle at Ohio's Camp Perry. More than 1,300 sharpshooters, the deadliest of U.S. deadeyes, plunked slug after slug through the hearts of the targets...

Last week a Canadian Institute of Public Opinion poll reported that, of voters expressing a preference, 47% were pro-Liberal, 30% pro-Conservative.
