...plugs, which fall under the heading of the Dreadful Ds: drugs, dentifrices, deodorants, detergents and dandruff removers. They all deal in intensively competitive products, and their problem is the kind of problems they treat. Stuffed sinuses, after all, are not exactly a popular subject, but that does not stop the admen from hawking some nasal spray as if it were the greatest breakthrough since the Salk vaccine...
...prehistoric Corsicans evidently failed to stop the Shardanes, for many menhir fragments are embedded in the walls of Shardane temples. Still, they made gigantic strides in sculpture. Their earliest attempts (around 1800 B.C.) had simply a head separated from the body by a crude neck; their final works depict arms, hands, and what look like facial traits.

More than half the American people think it is a mistake, but they don't have the initiative or energy to stand up and do something. Let's do something before it is too late...
...guys, for the most part, you should pay attention to your critics. It may be a long hot summer, and what the women want is a little cool. Take at least one bit of advice--stop mooing. Is that too much...
