Though relatively few earthlings are aware of it, they are embedded in a huge, disk-shaped spiral galaxy. Earth's astronomers have a hard time seeing much else; every star visible in the sky is part of it.* They have an even harder time seeing into its heart (located roughly in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius) because it is obscured by the close-packed stars and cosmic dust that comprise the Milky...
...made no major move to reduce expenses. Neither has Philadelphia Multimillionaire (construction) Matt McCloskey, the party treasurer, who shares with Butler the responsibility and the blame for fund-raising and budgeting.
