...gone to great lengths to explain exactly what he means by the happiness slogan-slightly dressed up as "the spirit of public happiness"-and maintained that the phrase had been written by a bona fide founding father, no less. Though the Library of Congress has not been able to trace the quote, a Humphrey aide said that he thought John Adams had put the words in a letter to Thomas Jefferson.

To stop that practice, every major racing state now requires that no trace of Butazolidin remain in a horse's system on the day of a race.

I see diverse ingredients in our students' attitude toward violence. Of romanticism I see no trace.

You state: "The radical students charge that Springer has manipulated public opinion in order to create a repressive society and an atmosphere of hate against them." Not only radical students charge that...
