...toward fulfilment of the reading requirement: (1) of French, a C in French 1 or a D in French 2 or any other whole course in French literature higher than French 1: (2) of German, a C in German 1a, 1b, or 1c, or a D in any whole course in German literature higher than the above, and (3) of Latin, by a C in Latin A, or a D in any other whole course in Latin literature...

Stevenson waved his wand, and the U. S. was ahead by two. Britain rallied, fighting across the carpet toward the U. S. goal. They attacked, missed, attacked and missed again. Then Hitchcock waved his wand again and the score was 3-0.
