...sidelines praising the legislative approach to producing change and blaming Parkhurst for "the actions of a fewill-advised individuals who may adversely affect not only the vast majority of law abiding truckers but also the American public."

It appears that in the long run, between increased deterioration of the interstate roadbeds, decreased safety, and increased shipping costs, the interests of the American people could have been far better served than they have been by the pillars of the trucking industry and the President...
...portraits as Rembrandt, who painted himself 60 times. The first face of Raphael Soyer is dated 1917. The artist printed it on a sheet of cheap paper with engraving plates he heated on the gas burner in the family kitchen in The Bronx.

...bars, looking steadily more glassy-eyed. Older couples float around the room in time-polished two-step, while the younger couples try to avoid each other's toes. But when Cole Porter gives way to rock 'n' roll, it is the older group that looks a tad silly dusting off their versions of the jitterbug, while the baby boomers twitch admirably to the new music...
